When you die, the surface of the moon will not change.
The difference between the landscape and lighting of that barren little world from a moment where you exist, to a moment where you do not, will be minimal, and unrelated to your passing. From a car window driving on a highway, looking up at a moon framed by incidental clouds, the surface will be the same muddle of mystery and distance it always is.
And even a methodical study of your absence as it pertains to moon geology and cartography will find nothing. Searching through a powerful telescope, and analyzing with computer algorithms built around your nonexistence – even that study will find that all craters and rocks appear to be where we left them a few years back, that it is the same distance, orbiting at the same rate, and that the researches feel just the way they did about the moon as they did before you died.
Nothing will change about the moon when you die. It will be the same – still the moon, still there.
Still the moon.

Listeners, let’s take a moment to discuss measurement.
The cardinal directions are north, west, south, and east.
The cardinal temperatures are 35º Fahrenheit, 67º Fahrenheit, 3º Celsius, and 10º Kelvin.
The cardinal locations are a cave, a long-abandoned cabin, the bottom of an oceanic trench, and City Hall.
The cardinal emotions are wild abandon, guarded affection, directionless jealousy, and irritation.
The cardinal birds are hawk, sparrow, finch, and owl.
The cardinal names are Jeremy, Kim, Trigger, and Jamie.
And, finally, the cardinal sounds are a door slamming, slight movement in still water, popcorn popping, and a standard guitar G string being snipped with wire cutters.
