Dead like Me again
by Robert G Parent
the toiletseat from space
somewhere high above the heavens
satelites spinning around the Earth
space labs orbit around the Earth
then an explosion
and the shrapnel enters the Earth's
atmosphere, building up speed
the toilet seat you see comes closer
and then at once, no more,
your life's been cut short
by this toilet seat from space
the lessons you have to learn
must now be learned in death
as a reeper you shall be
stuck in your bardo
figuring out what is life and death
figuring the meaning of it all
the toilet seat from space,
your death, your families separation,
missing you and you missing them
remembering pieces of a life you've
lived in a past, trying to make sense of it all
the toilet seat from space
ended your life in the prime
but even as the reeper you are
you've discovered new life
new friendships as your lessons
of life and death
figuring out a way to go home
to continue the existence
