An opossum said
"I only get
One to two years
On this Earth
So I don't need to put
Much work
Into the remembrance
Of my impermanence
This is great
Because I am a la-
-zy so and so!"

Quaint and cute it seems a southern tale or maybe tail which ever way you want to look at it. A fun read
Thanks for dropping by, Soren.
You are most welcome it is my pleasure
My friend, this is absurd and insightful at the same time. The opossum voice gives you freedom to poke at existential weight without heaviness. “remembrance / Of my impermanence” is clever, and that broken “la- / -zy so and so!” is a great comedic finish. Well done on this! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
You got it to a tee! Thanks for taking the time to read and comment, Tristan.
Rock on! You are most welcome, Mutley!
