music for autopsies

 

i've been listening to

brian eno     a lot     recently

 

also

 

i've been thinking about

death     a lot     recently

 

it's not subliminal messaging

in ambient music that's doing it

 

it's just that

 

i've been thinking about

death     a lot     recently

 

when i die     i want

to be listening     to brian eno

 

so it's natural that

every car coming     across

yellow lines     a warning light

sometimes     i admit i am

the car coming     across yellow lines

 

i'm halfway through

music for airports 

where everything converges

     slowly     i haven't cleaned

my glasses     in quite awhile 

there's nothing     truly

sinister about dying

 

it’s     just     natural

 

like the '99 volvo wagon

wobbling tires     on a potholed road

 

like the rhodes piano

played     in a soft room     to no one
