For Lost Souls & Reputations
2 from Langston Hughes



Funeral

Carried lonely up the aisle
In a box without a smile,
Resting near the altar where
Folks pass by and stare—

If I was alive
I’d say,
I don’t give a damn
Being this-a way!

But I would give a damn.


Bouquet

Gather quickly
Out of darkness
All the songs you know
And throw them at the sun
Before they melt
Like snow.

...Was said literally and figuratively today by two right wing bad boys.
The figurative way with, surprisingly, Rev. Ted Haggard and the literal way with Senator Arlen Specter.
