No Such Thing
I know I'm never going to die;
I'm going to live forever.
The world will simply disappear,
And I'll expand; however,
life
An Image of Transcendence?

Obviously
Life lived in a hot air balloon
Is life lived in suspension.
People who think they can live in comfort
Are people not paying attention.
Not a carriage ride...

Mr. Death
Death sat down beside me
In my ratty little boat
That had sprung a leak beneath me
And would no longer float.
"Well, Mr. Death," I said to him,
"Are you here to take my soul?"
"Just your life, you silly man!
Your soul's another's goal!"

The Grave Man
I tell myself I want to die,
Since die indeed I must;
And yet I think those awful words
Are just so much bleak dust
To keep the awful truth away
That death seems so unjust,
Since truly I don't want to die
While life is this robust.

My Life: a Cliche
With cracking and popping
And the greatest of ease,
He extracted my tooth
Just as slick as you please:
Dr. Brents, the dentist,
Very like Hercules.
