I was thinking about dead people
And whether we should think about them
Or not,
They don't know either way
So no service is being paid
No matter how romanticised.
I was thinking about how much better
Dead people are than when they were alive.
All crap forgotten, all great immortalised,
Being dead would be great if you weren't.
Your greatest smile caught on an i phone
Defining you
That time you helped somebody, endlessly
Recycled.
We have the flick of a light switch alive,
I was thinking about dead people.
