Gossip magazines
in attendance rooms
may always benefit you
with the very latest news
on who's still alive
and who is otherwise
(like the doc) already late.
Just as a channeling medium
I get big trouble diagnosing
the living from the dead.
Thus, the last occasion I had
to skim through one of those
involuntary inobituaries,
it came to my system as a shock
to have suddenly rediscovered
the beaming smilingly liveliness
of two guys at least
I had thought previously deceased.
(Oh, just as an afterthought
I should add that out of
sheer scientific instinct,
I double-checked the mags
only to find they all dated back
to two or three years ago.
So, if the methusalahs keep
on business indeed,
I still don't know).
