Everything was beautiful... by crapitalradio

Hey – Listen:
Kurt Vonnegut has become unstuck in time
And Kilgore Trout has penned his last.
So it goes.

The remnant of slaughterhouse-five is always around,
Treading on the heels of time.
Picking out the moments,
Some not so nice,
And teaching us to laugh at the end,
Thumbing out nose at You-Know-Who.

So God bless you, Mr. Vonnegut,
Or Bokonon – whatever.
It’s all the same
For the laughing prophet of doom
Who grins as ice-nine slips into the ocean.
So it goes.

Remind us again
That we are trapped in the amber
And that even though our fantasist of fire and ice
Is gone,
He is perfectly fine in plenty of other moments –
Chain-smoking, scribbling
Away at some travesty,
Promising to change our lives.
So it goes.

But the artist,
This man, without a country
Though interred,
Has gained citizenship in all our hearts.

We may be trapped in this absurd world
With no damn cat, and no damn cradle,
And they will always drop their bombs.
Let them.
All will be dead and quiet,
But the birds will raise their voices,
In a salute
To the artist
With poignant melancholy wit,
And say the only thing to be said:
Poo-tee-weet?
