 Photo by Diana Polekhina on Unsplash But what if Heaven operates like a restaurant, closed each Monday, so you had better die on Sunday, but that doesn't work because God is resting and there is no getting in on the sabbath. That leaves you five days from which to choose to die, but God also is the ultimate physician, so Wednesdays the office is closed, so that day is out unless you can arrange to die on a golf course. Given the limitations it is probably best to become a Tibetan Buddhist, do your stint in the Bardo and be reincarnated, hopefully as a house cat, that is the next best thing to heaven. Louis Faber is a poet, photographer and blogger living in Port St. Lucie, Florida with his wife and cat. His work has appeared in The Poet (U.K.), Alchemy Spoon, New Feathers Anthology, Dreich (Scotland), Defenestration, Atlanta Review, Glimpse, The Seventh Quarry Poetry Magazine (Wales), Rattle, Pearl, Midstream, European Judaism, South Carolina Review and Worcester Review, among many others, and has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. His cat says she tries to edit him, but he always resists.
