Last List Poem by John Cain

When you have finally finished
Gotten to the end of
Every list ever made

No more things to do
No more thing to fix
No more shopping to buy
No more holidays to arrange

What is left
What is lef behind
And what must you do

Make another list
A list of who to say goodbye to
Say goodbye to your mum and dad
No they have already gone
Say goodbye to your children
Already flown the nest

I know, goodbye to my friends
To my lover
But not my brother
And my other siblins
And what's left of my aunt
cousins and nephews and nieces

Maybe make a list of the things
That are important or
Should have been
When I was busy making lists

You know the softer things
Being kind being living
Of the moment
And giving

Give me the strenght to make
This last list of the living
Last list of giving
A list to end the list of lists
