I've no clue,
Hopefully you do...



Poem Artwork

 

 

Who the hell is in the mirror,

Where for that matter is the looking glass,

By me every morning it does of me pass,

Could it be, my lack of memory,

Is from smoking & toking to much grass…

 

Myself has passed on,

From my leavings something does spawn,

In my pants is still left little John,

Wilted away, nothing for the worms to feed upon…

 

Am I live or am I dead,

Do not mourn the passing of this Ed,

I did afterall forget myself,

No need to of grass seed on my grave spread…

Your fingers still work

So does your mind

You see your refection

So you're not blind



Dirt sleep is coming

But not too soon

There's plenty of time

To flash us your moon

IN RE: YOUR 'LEAVINGS' - 'SPAWNING' ANYTHING ... HEAVEN FORBID!

AND ... KEEPING 'LIL JOHN' RIGHT WHERE HE BELONGS -
WILL SAVE U FROM GETTING ANY STD'S ...

AND ... IF U CAN'T SEE YERSELF IN THE MIRROR - MAYBE YER A VAMPIRE NOW?

When you stop looking in the glass, it's over. So write on, write on.

Amazing expression of grief in this Ed!
We...all of us...are dying in physical, emotional and spiritual ways every day, and yet also being born anew though :)
Be well,
Christine

My guess is, Ed, that you'll find yourself down by the dunes
or in a cozy Sea Isle pub. -gene.
