i want to experience
the sensation of death
before the drugs
take effect
-all my life i have
taken the heat
leaped over the flames
as they licked my ass
-stood toe to toe
with my adversaries
and taken my blows
with impious dignity
i have tested the truths
as well as the myths
i have lived life
to its fullest extent
so why not be
the same way when
facing death-
before their drugs
take effect___
Been to Cleveland several times - don't know if you mean it's good or bad! I would hope death is a MUCH better place - or else what is there to look forward to? Interesting write, here, Ted. Linda
Amen, Brother Ted! You're so philosophically poignant.
