. got to save up to earn a slower death a more palatable   and rewarding one medically attended                cribbed comfy 'won't you cheer me on to the afterlife ?' . got to pave my way to a dosing oblivion whilst my bowls void into clear bags         with measure marks down the sides and my muscles lack and sag             and distress is stretched                       for all those who may dare pay me a visit 'won't you cheer me on to the afterlife ?' . gotta have that great white death     gotta have clean    clean paperwork by the book   shuffle off .. no .. drip off.. good to the last drop                                         rattle breath and plop 'here's to the afterlife' .
