Dead Grandpa in Tomorrowland

Dead Grandpa is considering rebirth.
A china pig or Cleopatra’s nose
would do, but all his latest friends are here
and do not want to look like nematodes
in search of a savant, nor weeds and rocks.
He had a date tonight. If she would be
a pagan suckled in Tibetan hills,
maybe he’d go for gold. Or porphyry.
A statue of a statue in the rain,
at least until he’d smartened up a bit.
