CEMETERIES AND OTHER PLOTS ~ IN POETRY
Buy resting places for the four of us in a charming location.
We thought of it as a very charming vacation,
For which we’d pay well irn avance so as not to be late and miss being able to pick from the widest selection
Of tombs with a view, on a hill, in the shade of a tree.
What a sensible foursome we are, although secretly
(While we’ve given a great deal of thought to how we would choose them)
None of us believe that we will ever use them.
From the book, Suddenly Sixty by Judith Viorst, see p. 118
