we complicate the afterlife
or simplify it
smoking shadows or blinding light
always some kind of
inflated vision
of unimaginable prosperity
like a costco with free samples
in every aisle
no lines at the registers
and they take whatever credit card
you have in your wallet
of utter misery
processing travel reimbursements
with unclear reasons for changes of flight
destinations not approved
and receipts so crumbled and faded
they may as well be ancient greek
palimpsest
as for me
i will take peace and quiet
some kind of eternal stillness
as long as i can get
netflix

Words and Feathers 
Nice! I love NetFlix, too. I’m waiting for the next season of Bates Motel. Have you seen the series?
No. Sadly I let my subscription lapse. I did hear good things about Bates Motel though.
Oh, well, better to write your fantastic poems instead of watching tv!
Fantastic poems? You’re making me blush. But it’s true. The last show I watched was Face Off, and I bought that on iTunes. Good show. They’re probably already making a new season.
Hmm, I’ve never seen Face Off. Good, it’s actually healthy to blush — keeps the circulation going, and red is one of my favorite colors. I think you’d rather blush than bleed, so I’ll take your blushes 😀
Yes, let’s keep the blood where it belongs.
😀 😀 — yes, on your cheeks!
What would we do without Netflix? 🙂
Exactly. Although I don’t have it anymore…
Well, it’s there if you want it. 😉
