when I'm gone I won't know
what happens so maybe it's
not worth mentioning but
I hope a few people gather
and read from my work
to send me off
my wife knows what
to do with my ashes
which is a private affair
but something more public
would be nice though of course
how the hell will I know?
and anyway most the people
inclined to do such a thing
are dead or long gone
you couldn't fill a room
with those who remember
anything I've done
or so it seems to me
but honestly I don't know
if I'm right or wrong
and will never know
so what the hell
what happens happens
it's been nice
