Since I must die
let it be
on a clear hot day
so I feel good
Since I must die
let it be
during the summer
when I'm not teaching
Since I must die
let it be
during the day
when not in bed
Since I must die
let it be
when I'm alone
making no disruption
except for Sketch
who would understand
more than others
and lick my face
Since I must die
let it be
on some other day
surely not today
when it is hot
here on the deck
and I'm alone
except for Sketch
so not today
surely not today
