I'm going to hold onto my birth certificate
like my mother holds onto receipts
and when I write my last rent check
addressed to whomever lives upstairs
I'll knock on the door
and when they open
I'll kindly flash them the paper
which never expires
and I'll ask
for a refund
and they'll say "No,"
"We only accept exchanges,"
and then I think I'll believe in reincarnation.
