Experiences are layered.
The things we buy are basic.
That new car won't
make you happy.
It's short term
not long lasting.
Nice clothes can
make you feel good
just like new paint
on a rusted hood.
Brand new appliances
new accessories
new furniture
new materials
that aren't necessities.
Let this material obsession
rest in peace.
What makes us
happy are memories.
Action mixed with imagery.
Material possessions typically
go unmentioned in a eulogy.
Who cares about what you own?
It only matters what you did
who you were with
the memories created
around a home.
You can be buried
with your possessions.
You can take them
with you underground.
Won't do you much good,
flossing with no one else around.
Nothing like the skeleton
of a king on a throne
wearing a crown.
