How do doctors bring someone back from the dead?
Do the television shows lie, and does it not happen
as often as they imply? Imagine that there are spirits,
too many to count, waiting around hospitals, for
someone--anyone--to die so that a free spirit can steal
the empty body before the real spirit has a chance
to recover from the shock of dying for the first time.
A little girl died the other day, twenty spirits
hovered around her, waiting for the golden opportunity
to inhabit such a young body, to live a life all over
again, nearly from the beginning. When her soul
dissipated from her little frame, an old man jumped
into her place before any of the others could.
When the little girl's body opened its eyes once again,
he said "Mama" to the woman standing above him,
pretending that his soul was that of the girl she lost.
