Even the larger than life
get no more than six feet down
at the end.
There’s no volcanic snoring
from the sleepers here reposed.
No fanatic cackling from those
who once lived within
now powdery sanatoriums.
Jawbones no longer festive
or with coy wag,
no gummy promiscuity
among once social butterflies.
There’s no loathsome musings,
nor clandestine plots against
those who stand above in trodden woe.
There’s just common rebellion against being disturbed.
They wish only to remain unperturbed,
memories obliterated,
no troublesome stockpile
of who had what or who was most superb.
