Mine was a Wednesday death |
|
One afternoon |
|
At approximately three-fifteen |
|
I gave up and died |
|
And nobody cried |
|
Mine was a bloodless death |
|
Not grim |
|
Not gory |
|
More like |
|
Ali Macgraw's new enzyme |
|
Detergent demise in "love story" |
|
Neat and tidy |
|
Unlike Christ's on Friday |
|
Friends were fooled |
|
By the fact |
|
I still breathed |
|
And I spoke |
|
And I smiled |
|
And I lied |
|
In my handy dandy |
|
Imitation life disguise kit |
|
I sent away for it |
|
The styrofoam face |
|
Fits so neatly in place |
|
With the pre-recorded voice |
|
Of your choice |
|
And it almost sounds read |
|
It's a guaranteed deal |
|
And you don't feel a thing |
|
And you can teach it to sing |
|
And all your friends |
|
Are deceived |
|
And nobody grieves |
|
Mine was a Wednesday death |
|
One afternoon |
|
At approximately three-fifteen |
|
I was quietly |
|
Laid to rest |
|
And nobody guessed |
|
A handy disposable heart |
|
Marks time in a plastic breast |
|
And so it goes |
|
And nobody knows |
|
I am |
|
Non |
|
Bio-degradable. |
