Forty dollars

I like the idea of people leaving funerals and giving money to those in need. Maybe five dollars at a time.

He does not want flowers
At his funeral
He says
Rather
Take forty dollars
From your pocket
Give it to the next person
You see
Who needs it.
Don’t worry how
They’ll spend it,
How
They’ll squander it.
Squandering is in the eye
Of the giver.
Please
No flowers at my funeral.
Dribble forty dollars
Through your fingers
To the next person
In need.
I will be remembered
Enough.
