Here´s to your new life and Those Who Didn´t Know you
by
Timothy Gager

from your old life, the people at your funeral were clueless
you were the one that shot up
but they were the dead ones
failed to note what killed you. Why did these
friends not weep, their hair and clothes fresh as the lip gloss
and blinding smiles as if they sprung out of the ground like daisies
and the world was such a wonderful place.
