extinct on planet earthJanet Kuypers3/22/15
saw a slew of books for sale recently
some books were massive volumes,
and I heard a statistic a while ago
I mean, these books can’t be up to date
ninety nine percent of all species
when I think of the death that precedes us,
I wonder, when a loved one dies
maybe listed in a catalog
I think of a man I think of my mother
and I wonder,
will it all be reduced to a line of type
maybe there’s a word or two, beyond a name
