Every time I pass a graveyard I wonder why we still cling to neanderthal rituals and foolish wastes of time, space, and money. When you die, you are done with the husk you occupied for whatever time you hung around, just like a banana peel or coffee grounds. And just like these things we should bury the husks under farms where they can enrich the soil. We embalm the bodies so they can look good in the coffins where nobody can see them? WTF? We should grind them up and spread around the remains like compost.
Every time I see a hill or field covered by gravestones I see a park or golf course that should be but isn't. It's these things we should mourn, things that should be but are not. We should celebrate the lives of our loved ones and give their bodies a last chance to give back from whence they arose. Every body poisoned by embalming toxins and buried in some box is a medical school's loss or a fertilizer source wasted.

Here's one more thing:
IT IS IMMORAL TO NOT BE AN ORGAN DONOR
If you don't have a card in your pocket, or the box checked on your drivers license, F&%* You. You don't want your body desecrated after you die? Stop that nonsense, you screwed around with it while you were alive, now you're done with it, give someone else that can use it have it, chances are you didn't do anything worthwhile with it anyway. I'll bet there is a positive correlation between IQ and being an organ donor, for most of you, this is your only chance to be thought of as intelligent, check the god damned box.

I am ok with that, ever see how the astronauts keep a supply of water on board? Same difference.

After a four year battle with colon cancer my wife passed away Tuesday. She left me an envelope instructing me to donate her body to science and to use this poem as her obituary.



"Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft start that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die."

Shot for me and my buddies tonight, one left on the bar, one poured into the bay. To you, To her.
