"Blastoff !..to Pluto and the Moon"!

it’s not my intent to dwell upon my demise

regardless of how imperative the subject may be, but 

I've recently penciled-in preferences to finalize the end of my time.

preferred: the remnant ash to remain inside the retort.

now they tell me they don’t allow nesters;

something to do with adverse mingling with the residue of others

of my eternal kind.

too soon Epilogue:
at the "first annual end-of-life backyard cookout jamboree"

it's preferred that the dearly departed among the young once-loved,

be extended "special invitation status" and introduced by name, encouraged

to reveal detailed accounts of highly personal lifetime experiences.

Epilogue:

this poem's title came to me by way of the "Captain Video" archives

and "Video Ranger Third-Class", Edward Lillywhite "Ed" Norton.
