I'm almost not dead yet
-- dead is real final --
but alas' I'm not
there yet
I guess I'm just
not there yet
I am pulling out
my eyebrows
and I'm lying very still
listening to TV persons gab on
Talk about who walks about
many bloody segues
I'm like antlers on a wall
watching seagulls set up a queue
I'm almost not dead yet
guess' be alive I will
as long as I have eyebrows
as long as there's face
... on a clock
life went by fast
I was twenty, then way past --
hung out to dry at fifty-five --
need an air lift out of this flood.
