– I walk up to view the corpse,
pay my respects & say goodbye to…
a mirror!!?
– Now, how…? Is this some kind
of macabre joke?
– Where is… the deceased?
What’s his name? her name?
– Do I have the wrong address?
the wrong hour?
the wrong day?
what’s going under?!
– I took time off from work
for a funeral,
where’s the body,
what do I do with all these tears
and words of praise?
– A mirror!? Who ever heard,,,
all I see is a reflection…
– Oh, no! does this mean…?!
am I…?!
– Impossible! Why, I feel fine!
wait! I’ll clear this up,
there’s Carlos, I’ll ask him…
– Hey, Carlos…
look inside the casket,
there’s nothing but a mirror…
– Hey, Carlos, I’m talking to you!
what are you crying about, Carlos?
– This is insane!
It must be a nightmare ///
I must wake up! but I’m so… tired,
so t-i-r-e-d…

far surpasses
an aurora borealis,,,
the most splendorous sunset,
or a panoramic view
of planet Earth,
from the best vantage point
in the heavens.
