One thing can end this mortal journey, friend, –ONE THING ONLY. (You know of that I speak.) It’s at the end of all our endings; but wait! just now, I gotta go and take a leak!! There, that’s better. Now, to go, there’s two ways you can do it, quick! and slow, so..Quick, that’s fast, 1); Get drafted, do boot camp, fight a war, bullet in the head now you’re dead; or, 2a); with a bit more pomp, smack up against thee wall at around ninety, on a motorcycle-bike..WHOMP! not like one of those Big Wheel’s by MARX Dad gave you for your Christmas (when you were but a tyke); nowadays, you get to put on your man-pants! real chopper, like Peter Fonda..and ride it in the wind; catch a sunset, out at the edge of the world, –cliffs, ocean! get the picture? yeah you’re looking at a postcard, bro, just around that bend; scratch on it a note, “Dear Friend..” lick a stamp drop it in the box and send, see? That was easy (then the wall). Next, “Brothers and sisters, –you, too, there, ‘Ed’, we are gathered here to to-day to celebrate the life of Whatchamacallit who lived life his way in h i s fast-lane; and nobody else’s! and was a real, genuine knucklehead..” Then of course there’s the slow way (of which there are many, –to wit): 1); Chinese water torture, “..drip! drip! drip!” Plenty of water, there, buddy, but not a drop to sip..not even a water pitcher of Chinese plastic; on a chinese-plastic-end-table, pitcher that! (ain’t that sick); or 2); See first part, Section 2a, –but instead, have him hit the wall at only 30 or 40 mph, okay, make it fifteen..or twelve; then after he bounce off that wall and get rolled over by 18 big truck wheels, minus a few – tangled-up with the remains of the motorcycle-bike – preserved from an ignominious certificate of expiration only by a somewhat protracted series of emergency surgeries, and artificial add-on’s, with life support therapy’s, etc., too, okay..A? Now there’s plenty of time to write that great American novel you dreamed about; whilst day by day your friends and family are seeing less and less of you; because day by day there i s less and less of you (does not depend how you define IS)..and so on. But there’s still another, one other real slow way to go; and that is eat plenty of raw oatmeal and broccoli each and every day; and drink 8 glasses of water at least..and NO donuts! Take regular hikes; do calisthenics; and, uhh, oh, ah, what else? Oh yeah! don’t ride the motorcyclebikes, Peace! THEE END (press SEND).
