To a stranger who has died –

Amy Michelle Mosier

To a stranger who has died -

Money is nontransferable;

That the Egyptians tried -

The kings - they're unconsolable

 

But I know some things that follow:

A reputation that's admirable;

Fame - too - worth much in gold

As well as a pretty caricature.

 

Others will take their talents

And I - by history’s sieve -

Will take - cheating prognosis -

My poems with me when I leave.

    If i gained a pretty caricature that survived only briefly I’d still find it fun to brandish it w glee so my ex would feel her vindictive predictions were proven wrong and I’d be so glad to be so petty.
