Obituary

I first thought that it was Geri,
Halliwell that died, and not Falwell,
And I was sad because she is so young.
Thank god she is still feeling well.

And then I realized the state of actual things,
In my mind when I think of the world,
And how it quickly changes to the general,
Before I can make a comment on particulars.

Maybe that is a good thing, though it makes it difficult,
In conversations when the facts are all floating,
Vaguely around without concretness to any truth,
Except that they don't really mean anything.

But it's alright,
Everyone gets by the best that they can,
Some by singing and giving to the poor,
Others by denouncing public schools as the tool of satan.
