Visiting the Dead

Summary:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQYZm3w3RPc Here's a link to my YouTube channel where I read from my recently published books. They are Seedy Town Blues Collected Poems, Sleep Always Calls, and It's Just a Hop, Skip, and a Jump to the Madhouse. They are available on Amazon.

I visit the dead at
the grocery store,
library,
on the phone
and
in my e-mails.
I watch them
on TV,
at the beach,
in my dreams
and in the eyes
of crows.

They wear
colorful clothes, and
always want to
sell me on their
way of life.
No thanks, I’m
calling the whole
thing off.
I’m going fishing.

    1. I get the distinct feeling I’ve met some of these along the way too .. but fishing always sounds like a good plan to me even on a bad day .. Nice one Thomas .. Neville 😎👍

    2. Wooo hooo! We watch the same people!
      Hey. You live near me?

      I have to get back on my YouTube channel so I can watch you read some more. It’s been a minute (Adira).

    3. The Dead, strange folk, very strange. They have this vacant smile, glassy eyes and have these “tracks” they want to give me. They are everywhere. I think we should be afraid, very afraid cause now they are in the seats of power and want more. I went fishing the other day, and the fish I caught, 28 inch trout, tried to hand me a tract. Isn’t it funny how what dead people want to “eat” is your brain. They’re everywhere I tell ya, everywhere.
      er…. sorry Thomas, I kinda got carried away thinking about your poem and Dead people. But I have to admit, I was looking over my shoulder as I read.

      A 5 snaps, and 2 hell yes, poem. Thanks Thomas!
