in the year 2020 by Raymond Carver. Which of us will be left then owed? Dazed, unclear but willing to talk about our dead friends Talk and talk like an old force, it leaking so that the young ones, respectful, touchingly curious, will find themselves stirred by the recollections by the very mention off this name or that name. And what we did together as we were respectful but curious and excited to hear someone tell about the illustrious dead ahead of us of which of us they were, say to their friends. He knew so and so He was friends with blank and they spent time together. He was at that big party. Everyone was there. They celebrated and danced until dawn. They put their arms around each other and danced until the sun came up. And now they're all gone of which of us will it be? Said he knew them, shook hands with them and embrace them. Stayed overnight in their warm houses. I loved them friends. I do love you. It's true, and I hope I'm lucky enough privileged enough to live on and bear witness. Believe me, I'll say only the most glorious things about you and our time here. For the survivor, there has to be something to look forward to growing old, losing everything and everybody.
