At millennial zombie skool, practice makes perfect
medium-to-big-box items 
and at graduation there is a rush of delight
when they open your box
and you get to climb out and selfie yourself.

and this is only one of the many ways
the modern funeral industry
is tirelessly at work to profit from your body.
