UNTITLED

When I die
Do not bury my body in some graveyard
And do not cremate me and spread my ashes somewhere

Here is a list of things to do with my body instead

Coat me in cement
And sneak me into the Terracotta Army

Cook me into a giant dumpling
Or a pie

Stuff me and keep me as a coat rack
Or a chandelier

Turn me into a fountain
And put me on your lawn

Freeze me
And thaw me when we become able
To bring the dead back to life

Send my body parts to government officials

Stuff me with straw
And use me as a scarecrow

Put me in the passenger seat of your car
And drive in the carpool lane

Use me as a dead body
On a crime show

Leave me in a closet
So people get scared every time they open it

Replace my arms with wings
And perch me in a tree in your front yard

Sneak me into a wax museum
And dress me as a celebrity

Use me as a mannequin
In a high-end clothing store

You may do any of these things
But do not let me rot in the ground
Or get put in an urn and kept on your mantle
