God Bless You, Mr. 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.
–Kurt Vonnegut
(1922-2007)
So it goes…

Nice tribute. I liked this quote from Vonnegut, in today’s obit in the Financial Times: “Art externalizes dignity.”
