They congregate in the cemetery, shedding tears of loss
a man begins to utter prayers while brandishing a cross
The coffin of a man is slowly lifted from the ground
then to the hearse its carried people standing all around
The hearse drives to the morgue where the coffin is removed
the body then gets kept there for at least a week or two
Soon the bodys taken from the morgue and driven to a house
a widow waits there crying cause the body is her spouse
The man is laid there on the bed where later he comes to
his wife her tears diminish cause it seems hes made it through
The man still lays there ill and his wife says her goodbyes
but then the man gets better until he reaches 65
He has no clue what happened yesterday but tomorrow that he knows
he leaves his pension and goes to work for 40 years or so
The man and wife have a break then make their way to church
they remove the rings from fingers but its joy it doesnt hurt
They leave without a marriage certificate and go their separate ways
then the man goes home to parents and this is where he stays
He goes to school for several years forgetting all he knows
each year that passes by hes needing smaller smaller clothes
He loses his ability to walk and talk and eat
by now hes just a baby so innocent and sweet
He goes into a hospital where his mother lays there screaming
legs spread wide she sucks him up the father stood there gleaming
Sometimes we wish that we could turn back time as if were gifted
but if this time went backwards well backwards time is twisted

This was so very clever. Interesting twist and it is quite inspiring.
You have captured the absurdity of going backwards with a
talented flare.
Great post
