Time Expired

When I pass, as we all will one day, I want to be cremated. I want the ashes from my body to be mixed with concrete and used to set a pole for a parking meter. I want the parking meter to be permanently flipped to “Time Expired” and set near the edge of a park somewhere. I want any coins that are placed in the meter to be periodically collected and distributed to worthwhile causes. I want beautiful sayings, quotes, and excerpts from literature to be engraved into the pole itself. I want for a metal chute to be welded to the side of the pole for anyone who wishes to leave flowers to have a place to put them. I want to have the names of significant individuals to be etched into the concrete at the base. More than anything though, I want for my life leading up to this to have not been in vain. That would be enough. The rest is just details.

About SIDEWAYS EIGHT

Being heard, stirred, and perhaps cured by life's many hidden images and the written-spoken word.
