How to Get to Heaven
“She’s
just being nice to you cause she’s
old and
wants to go to heaven”—a line by
Bill Cosby
which now suffers guilt by
association;
however it is the case: old
changes things
and values and attitudes
and one
foot in the grave makes a difference.
Asked: I
told a class I was 76. “O my,” a
small
student suggested. “I would have
figured
you for 60—way you act.”
Students
are smarter than I am &
always
were but now I know it. More
savvy for
sure. I could say I’m no
longer interested in current issues,
world
affairs, impolite political politics
and stuff
like that, but I never was and
the
benefit of old is not caring if it in
public.
How to
get to heaven (in manners
of speaking
and something like that):
Ivory
Tower marching to different
conundrums
& yet don’t have to go
anywhere or
do anything to put it in
play—rump
a pump um. Old guy.

"marching to different / conundrums" is now my favorite line of yours and describes you (and all of us) perfectly
