Liked the Preview
You’d think having
a near-death experience–
you know, with floating above
your cast-off body looking down on it,
flying up through darkness into that
long tunnel of concentric glowing rings,
sort of thing–
would make you more interesting.
I mean, people should want to know.
Fact is, once you’ve seen the preview
(and can’t stop talking about it)
nobody wants to know you
much less discuss it.
Whereas when you’re dead
they can’t shut up about
how good or bad you were
how well they knew you or didn’t
at least for a while.
Been there, yeah.
So, compared, I think
I want the full trip next time–
bound to be something
at tunnel’s end.
