At six o’clock I did awake,
Popped in my mouth the pills I take,
But switched they were with poison tabs,
Meant for rats in sterile labs.
Who switched them I may never know,
But their cruel joke has cut me low,
For now I float above the world,
My soul from body has been hurled.
I guess I should enjoy my time,
No shackles mean no life to mime.
Perhaps I’ll take that trip to France,
No need to pack, I wear no pants,
No shirt, no shoes, no jacket too,
Walk freely naked through the zoo.
Though naked you can never be;
I lack a body you can see.
I do not eat, or move, or ache,
I have no lungs, no breath to take.
No bones to lack the calcium,
No teeth to chew a stick of gum.
Its food that I will miss the most,
No friends to see, no parties host.
I leave the city with this toast:
I’ll spend my time upon the coast
Where I will watch the waves you see,
And contemplate eternity.
