Letter Home


Letter Home


For thirty years I lived alone,
watching TV cartoons, canned
laughter and sports.
My dead food came
in cartons and cans.

When I died alone, drunk in
the tub, they packed me in a
tuna fish can, Bumble Bee, and
shipped me off to the moon.

The moon's not half bad
and I should last indefinitely
or until someone
opens the can.
