                          Plan A

 
   
 
 
What's your master-plan mate  
 
Grow old-fungus-toenails-beard  
silent-uninspired-insipid-pathetic  
then stop breathing at some ungodly hour  
in a nondescript place [may be a cheap inn]  
somewhere really faraway  
 
Is that how you want your farewell, ole' pal  
an unceremonious, wordless departure  
a real letdown  
or have you actually put some thought to it  
 
like  
 
those countless members of niche-glitterati  
 
who  
 
 
drink aloe vera-eat sushi-travel light-fly solo  
buy space-real estate in and around-donate-tweet  
throw parties with dada or minimal themes  
listen to Pere Ubu or Arvo Part  
wear organic-use ergonomic  
watch Mexican neo-realism and read the Book of Dead  
subscribe to lifestyle magazines and news dailies-  
pay per square feet [property] or per square inch  
[for the entire page with a pro-made-up mugshot]  
after months of discussion-contemplation-discussion  
 
once the show is all over just like everyone else  
they cease to be just who they ever were  
 
nothing matters thereafter
 
me  
 
I saw that coming  
 
well I want to go first thing the day  
I wake up and don't recognize myself anymore  
in the eyes of the ones I have loved  
[sans baggage]    
having merely become    
a thought-a memory-a photograph  
[even if it is taken out of the frame and rather kept  
inside the old album or drawer]  
but darn't  
not that-never  
 
or may be I need to plan  
as well  
 
damn departure.
