Living Will
by Sonia Greenfield
When I die
spread my ashes
on Splashdown!
so crumbs of me
can be in your
family photos as you
plunge over the flume-y
precipice. When I die
bury me in a giant
Reese's Peanut Butter
Cup. When I die feed
me to the bacon pigs
as retribution. When
I die let my tombstone
say Here lies one
whose name was writ
in Maker's Mark.
When I die march
my bones through
the Macy's Day Parade
between the inflatable
Smurf and Snoopy.
When I die intern
my body with my
favorite glass animals
and my coffee mug and
my backlogged issues
of The New Yorker.
When I die tie my urn
to the underbelly of
a whale. When I die
tell my son he was
a force of gravity
pinning me to Earth
until weightlessness
could not be refused.
When I die send my
ghost on a cruise.
