    Han Lynn

    Side by side

    ELEVATOR

    The coffin doesn’t fit
    In the elevator
    Let’s keep it vertical


    The body will
    Be standing


    Isn’t a coffin always
    Too heavy? Shall we put  
    This one on wheels?


    A coffin pusher
    Wanted


    An elevator
    Down
    In a high-rise
