in memory of Jez who would
have turned 48 tomorrow

Dionysus was multifaceted
So was Mister Albert Einstein
I wonder if they've met in heaven,
a Greek god and a Jewish physicist?
If Bradman hasn't passed on a
few tips to my brothers; to my Dad
If Ali, Babe Ruth and Trevor Barker
haven't done the same thing.

Would Mao be there? Mussolini?
Hitler? Would Adolf Hitler be there?
Maybe Leonard's handing him flowers
Then trying to explain 'Dance Me...'
There'd be six million angry unsated ones
Fifty million from that war, fifty million
Napoleon, Genghis Khan and Mohandas
Gandhi, my sister Esther, her beau Peter

Could they marry? Have kids? I don't think
so. Do their spirits affect us? Some believe
so. What do Robin Williams and Socrates
actually do? And Golda Meir that old tigress.
Imagine being there - Lennon, Sellers, Mayall
The Wright Brothers, Armstrong, Edison, Alice
Miller, M. Scott Peck, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin
Marx, Freud, Jung, William Wallace, Namatjira.

Is G-d there? He must be - 'Our Father who art
in Heaven', what does he do? Is he like an arbiter?
Did Buddha or Jesus or Muhammad get the top
job? You never can tell. Imagine playing 500 with
those three! If it's there, and I believe it is in some
form, you'd just be so busy being with all those
spirits wouldn't you? I'd love to 'see' my sister
again - alive in any form for one long eternal day.

I can fly

Boss~”I'd love to 'see' my sister
again - alive in any form for one long eternal day”.

Me too Boss. My sister died a suffering death over 20 years of heroin addiction. I know she is in peace now & all suffering is over. Even the suffering of living in this world.
I remember being a little boy about the age of 10 or 11. Sweating like hell sitting in my room in the south Florida summer at my abusive drunken moms boyfriend house. Thinking if Heaven is perfect love....maybe I should go there. That feeling didn’t last to long and the suffering continues still but looking back now almost 40 years later I see that that moment was my very first glimpse of hope.

Peace brother and continue to do what you do!
