How long does a battery last
A square flat thing
Just under his skin
It will give him more years
If he takes his lukewarm milk
Every morning
Eats tasteless food all savoury
Extracted
Leaving behind bland vitamins
Or he can join a club where people
Find their illnesses
Endlessly fascinating as a subject.
Be optimistic everyday and
Do not show bad form by
Mentioning death
A square flat thing

Be optimistic everyday and
Do not show bad form by

The process of dying is very bland now days isn't it? Lucky the people you read about who drop over dead at 65 in a grocery store....
