Getting
old makes me nervous because it means waiting for dying.
I already feel
like I have an appointment hanging over my head.
I don't just feel bad
about my neck (and my silly putty face and crooked toes --
no one ever writes
about that)
I feel bad about death. I like it here. I've had a good
time.
And what could make you more nervous than knowing
you are going
somewhere but won't know you are there.
It
can't even really be written about.
And, if there is life after death,
don't you think someone would've snuck out data about it?
Wikileak
afterlife.
And after a heart attack and aches and pains that accompany me
now
probably forever, I can't just stash the idea that I'll die.
It's
just a matter of when.
Makes me nervous.
