it’s the realization that
you’re not going to be
missed when you die
you’re not going to be
missed when you die
that your obituary will
never be published
there will be no funeral
no drunken brawl in
some bar as people
toast memories over
drinks
no wife to become
a widow
no children happy that
the old fucker is finally
gone
the shotgun still rests
in the corner
it gets more inviting
with each passing
day
J.J. Campbell (1976 - ?) was raised by wolves yet managed to graduate high school with honors. He's been widely published over the years, most recently at Red Eft Review, The Beatnik Cowboy, Synchronized Chaos, Horror Sleaze Trash and Cajun Mutt Press. You can find him most days on his mildly entertaining blog, evil delights. (https://evildelights.blogspot.com)
