“Aunt Sim Wants to be Buried in the Section of the Cemetary With the View of the Drive In Movie Theater”
By Molly Gorelick
The mirrors in the house remain uncovered.
My death will not be an excuse to look bad.
I have spent so much life examining my mirror object self
that I have seen my devil shoulder and angel shoulder braid my hair.
The mourners say WE CANNOT REFLECT IF THERE ARE NO MIRRORS.
The mourners say YOUR BODY IS GOD AND THAT IS REASON TO JUDGE IT.
The mourners say IF AN OBJECT’S PURPOSE IS TO MAKE A HUMAN FEEL GOOD AND CLEAN THEN YOU ARE OBJECT.
The mourners refer to me in present tense.
When I shed my body, throw me in the goddamn junkyard.
