I read people close to dying often see dead people
in dreams,

people they had known in this life when alive.

I believe sometimes dreams are more than dreams,
and these dying people are seeing people in dreams

they will see in the afterlife when they die.

She seemed uncommonly nice and admirably modest
until one looked at her Instagram account

chock full of photos of herself, as if she
were self obsessed.

I’ve seen that trend with other women,
instagram pages blown up with photos of themselves.

I don’t understand why they post so many of those photos,
and I don’t think it’s because they’re in love with themselves.

Maybe, like women with applying makeup to their faces
all over the world,

it’s just a natural, female thing.

I wonder how many people died
because they felt that

bad things only happen to other people.

I imagine graveyards are full of those people,
but lucky are those who thought that

and never died young or got murdered.

I remember how I was like that when
I was a young man who felt

bad things would never happen to him

until I became an old man and bad things
started happening to me.
