Rest in Peace

"Requiem"--Kurt Vonnegut

When the last living thing 
has died on account of us,
how poetical it would be
if Earth could say,
in a voice floating up
perhaps
from the floor
of the Grand Canyon,
“It is done.”
People did not like it here.

Rest in Peace, Kurt. (1922-2007)

he must have been an amazing man. i've heard his name thrown around so many times before but i had never read any of his stuff. now that i know what he's all about, i wish i had found out sooner. :(

it's never too late, darling! pick up slaughterhouse-five or cat's cradle--he has tons of good books!
love you!
