Planning For El Dia de Los Muertos, 2003

we aren't dead
so we will celebrate
not with tequila
or Tecate
or any kind of wine
because you like me better
sober and properly functioning
on Celexa
instead we will pour a giddy lifetime
into each kiss
eat candy in memory of all the
spirits we miss
hiss at time
because time is a big
fat lie
and death is the one alibi
that never works.
