More About Valhalla

He’s running for president of the afterlife

& so the dead press corps follows him. ,

Someone asks: "If elected, what will you do about Karma?"

He says that he understands Karma has always been a problem

& the goal of course is to put everybody on the same playing field, etc.,

But the government of the dead shouldn’t get involved with these entitlements,

It’s more a market based matter, skinny souls squeezing through the portals

Of rebirth, like floating lilies pushed by wind. Etc.

"But aren’t you worried, sir," asks a particuarly dead reporter,

That perceived inaction on Karma

Will negatively impact dead Viking land values?"
