On Cemeteries:

On Cemeteries, in my mind:
I really enjoy (the 'wasted' Earth we call) Cemeteries.  (There are times when I just know 'God' told us to mark the spot of our dead so we’d deem some of 'His' Earth the sacred ground it is.)  “Sarcastic” Janet piped in. I like to tell myself she’s the part of me diagnosed with Aspergers, the one with a penchant for the truth and a wicked Southern accent.  I digress as oft be and . . .

I really do enjoy Cemeteries.  I don’t go out, pick a grave, prostrate myself and pretend I’m somebody's long lost relative. The dead are my therapists, I confess.  I sit quietly, sometimes

on a bench placed in someone’s honor, sometimes I sit at the property edge.  Sometimes I park myself right smack dab in the middle of everybody. I think.  I watch my thoughts, and sometimes, when I really have to, I talk.  Sometimes smiling, people appear to answer me.  Cemeteries are comforting places for me . . . until they're not, and that's a totally different topic.

P.S.  AND I hope to catch a glimpse of my dead ashes flyin' through the air explodin' into an amazing piece of art, the fourth of my July, lasting as long as the light does . . . just sayin' so you're not at all surprised at the readin' of my Will.
