our weaknesses should endure on tombstones,
not the dull, "loving mother", "devoted father"
or "beloved wife", instead more interesting notes
such as "one who used good instead of well
in spite of numerous corrections", or "never
was a good listener", for me, "always froze
before playing high E on the flute".
think how much more interesting a visit
to the cemetery would be, we could assume
they were wonderful mothers, devoted fathers
or beloved wives, and get on with the more
interesting, and more human, aspects of their
lives, one we could all relate to.
