The Day I Die
November 7, 2009

the day I die
will be hot and sunny
rainy
or maybe partly cloudy with a 20% chance of showers in the afternoon
the weather doesn’t matter
the point is
I’ll be dead
afterwards the world will be a little bit worse
and
(let’s be honest here)
also a little bit better
the Earth will keep on spinning
a soccer mom rushes the kids to school
an old man forgets his dentist appointment
it won’t matter that I’m not there
regardless of the weather
good or bad
sun or rain
I won’t enjoy it
or complain
come to think of it
my death won’t matter very much at all
except to me
because I’ll be dead
