my hands are cold
always have been ; always will be

my mother said
that i feel like a corpse

perhaps i am a corpse
i guess it must be true

did you know that a soul
is thought to weigh 21 micrograms?

did you also know that
3 days before my last

birthday
i dropped weight?

perhaps someone can
translate these ramblings

and make them coherent enough
to decorate

my headstone with
-n.c
