Everybody bring lots of photos to the ceremony. Draw pictures too, please. I know none of you draw but please draw pictures and color them in.
Bring some of my things from my bedroom and put them up on the walls of wherever the ceremony is held. Play good music. Look for the records right next to the turntable because those are the ones I play most. Everybody bring your own favorite songs too.
It's difficult to say whether to make it a Catholic ceremony, and if not, what else to make it. How about reading some Whitman, some stuff out of that book of mystics Mom and I got for two bucks on the bargain books rack, or one of those Zen death poems? Flip through all them novels on my shelf. A lot has been underlined, and though I probably wouldn't stand by most of those underlines until death, some of them I would.
Read whatever feels right.
Tell stories.
Dig through all those notebooks and papers buried in hidden corners of my room. I apologize for nearly all the stuff that's in there, and please don't try to understand it. Most of it is just an emptying of my messy messy brain and body. But somewhere in there, somewhere in a few of those moments, I know I've gotten down how much I love you all.
I don't care what you do with my body. It's just my body.
Thanks.
