Teatteri Iva - In high school I was just a piece of shit

Letter from a retired scientist

Lately I have thought about the afterlife
And how I stopped believing in it
Not because I read too many books
Not because I looked at the atoms and the planets for too long
No

I held a firm gaze on this planet as it is
And in the glow of the bushfires
And in the stream of the floods
I stepped over a line of empathy
There is not a drop of love in me anymore

I know there is

So as I pick my coffin and recite my favorite songs for the wake
I try to give my grandchildren all the love in me
So that nothing in me remains
Because if there is an afterlife
I will not stand a chance with the guilt
Of surviving the fires and the floods
