Bury Me Naked

Bury me naked please,
the nylon clothes and plastic shoes,
are less biodegradable than I.

Perhaps some leather shoes
were soon and safely rotten:
but all animal products are wrong.

Murder: that's fillet and
the topside joint and shoulder meat
- my meat will nourish soil forever:

apart from titanium posts,
holding veneers in rigid place.
These helped propagate the gospel

on television and
in the Guardian, thank you readers,
keep the faith, for we are not carnivores.

Use a paper coffin,
but polish two bright pennies for
my eyes: the worms are just too much.
