So Glen Beck says
The number one regret
At the end of days
Is the burying
Who we really wanted
To be
Worrying what others
Think
Keeping file and rank
Staying in the lines
Following the by number
Colors
Chiding those who
Stray
Thinking their bend
Is the end all rule
For others
Disdaining stained glass
Preferring austerity
Cause it's always been
Thus in this family
Misunderstood Emily's
Condemned to a dark eternity
For writing poetry
And not minding the
Laundry
Sad markers in the cemetery's
All saying practically the
Same thing boringly
Of he was born
Of she died
Sterile dates
Cliche epithets
Safe within the lines
No color in these
Marbled rows.
Crosby Lake Cemetery
Starke
