Organ donor

While her organs were still warm, experts already are on the lookout for their use. Viable organ donor. Medical good-will.

Such a well-lived and well-died life, benefiting human society to the last breath.

Maxwell House society. Organ donors’ society.

Let’s give and good to the last drop.

From blood to kidney, books to clothes. Can’t bring them with us.

Dust we must. No hesitation. No regrets. The life we’ve lived. However it’s turned out.

By hooks or by crooks.

Moment to moment. But as a whole, it is always worth it. Towards the end, politicians often signed book deals. Lessons learned. Best practices. Rehashing old stories for new money.

Turns out we’re no better off today than last century.

We breathe worse air, read much less, watching movies that catered to our lowest bases. Tension in the West, tension in the East. Geisha in Japan gone, now child brides in Kabul.
Can’t find Renoir, Monet and Picasso. Maugham and Hemingway.

Only short tweets and “erased” tapes. Clever soundbites and micro-fund raising.

For what cause should you donate on your birthday?

How about donate your whole body while it is still warm. Check here on your DMV application.

Unplug the beast. The grid. The system. Au revoir, mon ami. Nice to have played with you. Now I must go. Been “six days seven nights”. Enough fun in the sun.

“Goodbye to you my trusted friends. We’ve known each other since we’re nine or ten ” (not sure, been a while).

Our world makes things too complicated: this app and that app, this system, and that system. Often, not working well together. “Are you a robot?”. No I am not. I don’t know how to prove it, to be verified… it’s been a long time I last lived at that address or used that password.

You can take the whole thing: organs, guitars and drums. The whole set. Just make sure you make music and not noise, make people smile and not tear up. Promise me. To be good, to do good and do no evil.

The latter- plenty. The former – in short supply. Yet, I still am, to borrow a recently deceased celebrity’ refrain “hopelessly devoted to you” albeit you (life) have proved undeserving of my donation/devotion.

Signed: Organ donor.
