I will crawl under the porch to die. I will want to be alone. The bugs can bother me and no one else. When they reach my hippocampus, they will taste the dew of early mornings spent hunting for easter eggs in the garden; April 5th. They will immerse themselves so much that they begin to think themselves as me. The bog-man scenario. Which one is me? Did I really die alone? Am I the worm? Early worm catches the bird. Early memory catches the innocent. Early death catches the porch. Will I die alone, as every living creature on earth does?
