of Spam! Issue numb 50: "CAREGIVER!"
Who would really care if you were gone?
Who would even really know you were gone if
you were to just suddenly disappear today?
Who do you really know? More importantly,
who really knows you? Only those who really
know you would even have a chance to really
miss you. More missing people are unmissed
than missed. More dead are forgotten than
remembered. Yes. All have come and gone; none
have stuck around. All are just passing through;
not one really belongs. No one really knows
how to care, because nothing lasts long enough
to really matter.
All
we can hope for in the form of immortality
is for the story of our brief life to be made
into a short home movie. Seen on a starry
night.
So
enjoy the picture. Enjoy the show. I promise
to watch yours if you watch mine. Starring
me. Starring you. Starring everyone. Introducing
Ms. Naturalee as The
Caregiver.
"Feeling
Old? Unattended? Unappreciated and Unloved?
You're Afraid of Dying Alone? Close the Curtains.
Draw the Latch. Sit by the Fire and Spin.
Make Noise! Make a Scene! Explode into Consciousness.
Explode into their Awareness. Make them see
and hear you. Grab their Attention! Make your
damn presence Known! Don't be a missing person.
Make them sit up and take notice. Then sit
back. Enjoy the Show." Sang The
Adman.
