Body In The Back Yard

There's a body buried in his back yard,
between the mansion,
and the chrysanthemums-
where the dog buried his bone.
It stinks of two-week old rigor mortis,
a debilitating, intoxicating smell,
his new atmosphere-
covering...
his suit and his tie,
his kids and his wife,
all of his money,
all of his pride-
what a wonderful life!
This cloud covering,
leads him back everyday,
between the mansion,
and the chrysanthemums-
where the dog buried his bone.
And, the body buried in his back yard,
we won't ever see,
since we see what we want to see,
on the 9 o'clock news.
