The dead hold court in the language of love through one-stick songs. Pick the buds and snap the branches; that’s how long you’re on stage singing. Yes they sing; the dead caterwaul in opposing voices that judge the living, all of them still curious but the dead don’t point fingers any more. They only ask the question that matters. "Why, for the love of God, if you can be anything in this world, would you not just be kind?"
