Legacy.

I want a legacy
(and I'm not
talking
an old computer).

I want a stack of
CDs,
LPs,
8-tracks,
that go
over the top of my head.

I want you to analyse
everything
I've done
for decades

(and still come away
feeling none the wiser).

I want happiness
to grow in my place -
I did try.
(What can I say?)

Forget flowers -
although my bones
will make good fertilser,
hopefully the other things I 
leave behind
will grow on their own

(with the aid of
eager ears,
clear eyes,
enquiring minds,
passive tongues,
fiery wits,
immense love).
