The Man Who Worked a Perfect
Piece of Four
Never been done!
And nobody knew or cared.
How could they, since he started Monday,
finished the preceding Tuesday?
Thus he ended before he began-–but that’s
too flip to say. We always look for something
like that.
At any rate, he forever picks out ways that
no other human can relate to.
We make our choices in Heaven and Earth!
The best of us never whining about inevitable
consequence.
And loneliness.

The Reverse Transfer
-So few applications for
reverse transfers, that
I wanted to talk to you.
-Of course.
-Do you have a complaint or...?
-No complaint, really. Just the
sad acknowledgment that most
have lied their way in.
-As on Earth. Hypocrisy. We run
campaigns to help eradicate it,
but...
-Our strongest habit...?
-I suppose. But, have you participated
in any...?
-No. I stay away. Preferring to read.
-An odd one.
-Agreed.
-So, you don't like the Campaigns
for Goodness...and the company?
-Unfortunately.
-Don't you fear the suffering in
the other place?
-I think I'll be more left alone.
-In my experience, I don't find
that a truly driving force...
as the French say "Cherchez..."
-I admit it! I hope to find her there,
continue our Earth sinning!
-Not very noble.
-Blessedly!
-Well, many more to choose from if
she doesn't work out.
-Are you saying Hell consists
mostly of women?
-They say men forced them there.
-I feel I was forced here!
-To experience bad company?
Aren't you too much the Idealist?
-Admitted. Idealist. Loner. Lover.
-Don't romanticize! I can't stand it.
Here! I'm stamping your papers.
May you find your peculiar Heaven
in Hell!
-Everywhere's peculiar.
-And everyone?
-Some pipe up.

Hereafter, Hereafter?
Two. One Topic
-I go with Thomas Wolfe: We walk the streets
of life alone.
-That’s awful! How about friends? Besides, I feel a Presence. For this journey, and the next.
-Comforting...for you.
-Why not for you?
-Should I make something up?
-Of course. Why not? Yes!
-I was being sarcastic.
-Then yes, yes, yes!
