Where I'd Prefer to Be

At the end of all days, some will say,

heaven or hell arrives; others claim,

reincarnation, a transformation from

who you were into a new lifetime of

earthly being. Heaven or hell is for

eternity; reincarnation recycles a soul

until some optimum purpose is achieved.

Then and only then can Nirvana be

perceived. Happy Hunting Grounds as a

finale sounds pleasing should it be, at last,

finding some eternal peace. For one in this

lifetime I happen to occupy, I would not

be satisfied with either a permanent situation

or having Ground Hog Day do-overs until I

get my existence right. Personally, I’d prefer

bidding all you folks, Good Night. Oh, and

will the last to leave please turn out the light.

And could one of you kindly scoop up the

crap in the litter box. For when it’s all said and

done, you see, a fresh and clean place to go is

all I’ll ever need.
