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.

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