INHERITANCE

Aunty Linda left a legacy
To a group of twenty-somethings.

One bought a car with low kilometres.
One saw the way to a great vacation.
One paid the rent for a year’s university.

And in the end it seemed to me
That this was just the kind of thing
Aunty Linda would have mentioned
When she went with friends to breakfast.

You can live on in a good used car,
Or a beach resort
Or pre-paid rent.
And a million zillion other ways
They can find to remember you fondly.
