So this guy dies in his rocking chair. Papers keep being delivered, the grass keeps growing, the neighbors are getting pissed. But no one realizes the guy is dead until four years later when someone buys the house at a delinquent taxes auction and walks in to find a corpse in the living room.

Green Buddhas
On the fruit stand.
We eat the smile
And spit out the teeth

Kinda cool! Well the Charles Simic that lived in my dorm at NYU would probably be in his early 30's now.
