How long to be material?



I don’t know my grandmother.
She was gone before I was born.
I know her mother who lived
All through my adolescence period.

My grandmother by name lives in me.
Her mother by flesh lives in me
And she only evokes sentiments
When I recollect things about her.

Those dead before you were born
Would be immaterial to you.
To those born after you were dead
You would be immaterial.
