Mars Hill, ME

Traveled far to say goodbye
Strangers, friends and family try
To remember jokes, jabs and winks
Content to amuse only one.

Cold, gray and damp we trudge together
Far away saws hum and blades spin
through the weather.

A final prank. Where are the keys?
Safe and dry, locked inside.
Men in black will be walking home.
We all smile a little with pride.
