Not that I plan to,
but it’s nice to know
it’s there
if I
happen
to
need
it.
Of course,
there’s always the possibility
I’ll get in a terrible crash
and get paralyzed from the
nose down
and some fool
will save me
and I’ll end up
in an ICU
for 10 years
with tubes
running
in and out
and no way
besides Morse code blinking
to tell my friends
to suffocate me
with a pillow
and if they
don’t,
well,
I’ll just have to gut it out.
