HAPPY BIRTHDAY to
WILLIE NELSON at 87

I won't be dead
Though I won't be dead, instead
I'll hear and see you but
But I can't relate back to you
Not one word or gesture you'll get
Disease for which they've found no cure
Someone must take good care of me
Know when I'm happy or I'm sad
Know if sick or well or hungry
Compare me to useless chicken
Animal with utility
But not me, totally worthless
Thank you, Goodbye all, I love you

- Isadora's words:
"You will not die, but will no longer be able to interact with the world. Whats the last thing you say?"
Excellent last words!
ReplyDeleteOh how sad. So many live in that horrible space. Wonderful last words❣️👍🙏
ReplyDeletePerfect last words!
ReplyDeletePerfect last words! Beautifully poignant.
ReplyDeleteYes, your ending is perfect. I often wonder what sort of memory footprint I am leaving. We have two daughters who can't have children. When the four of us are together we are always reminded we are looking at a tree branch that only has four leaves.
