Purgatory's Gates







1

to me
at this point
in time
the idea
of paying my dues
to get in through
the pearly gates
has about
as much appeal
as buying
a time share
in some vastly obscure
vacation spot
in the off-off season

with the possibility
of reincarnation
I probably
wouldn't
be able
to get anyone
to trade
2

what do people
possibly talk about
in heaven
if only the pious
who've spent their lives
talking salvation
get in

what do they
have to say
once they've
been saved

do they suddenly
develop
an interest
in cinema

?
?
?
3

I plan to go to hell

everyone
I know
will be there

I prefer it warm

I'm sure
I've already
done enough
evil
to get in

and

they can't
make eternity
last any longer
if I do
a little more

Im sorry, but you can choose to burn for eternity. I understand that you want to have fun in my life and Im not going to lie, I do too! But there are ways to have fun and enjoy life without going to hell.
