Etiquette

Don’t worry
About proper
Etiquette since
The only relevant
Embarrassment is to
Be dead gone so why
Worry about which fork
Or how to unfold a table
Napkin when once you’ve
Gone you are no longer held
Responsible for combing your
Hair or if your socks match only
Those left behind have to worry so
Relax now ahead of time and try
To procrastinate on the feeling
Guilty worrying about some
Form of etiquette as death
Will free you from all such
Social bonds one day, all
You have to do is delay
Compliance keep on
Smiling and do the
Things that make
You happy with
One red sock
And one
Blue.
But
Mostly
Remember
To do what you
Want to do no matter
What proper etiquette
Tells you you should
Be doing that is
Nowhere as
Much fun
As the
Joy
Of
Life
Uniquely
Idiosyncratic.
