How to Get Into Heaven

The door to heaven is wide,
people can get in from wherever.

There are those who run in,

with their big white teeth on display,

who throw up their hands

as if they just caught some shit crazy hail mary.

Some people climb and crawl.

Others tend to live forever.
And some like to walk in backwards
and pretend that it means something.
That by walking backwards
into heaven we somehow allow
ourselves to pretend there was
never a heaven.
But this is false.
Walking backwards into heaven
just makes you look stupid,

and everyone will only laugh at you.
