Rules of the Game

Rules of the Game

Death is the mind and body
out of sync. A natural death
happens over time and
sometimes the body goes
first and sometimes the mind
goes first. I already feel my
body going first, which is
rather like observing your
own death in slow motion.
So here's the deal:

no extra inning game;
no arguing with the umpire;
no steroids and other cheating;
a quick clean game;
and so forth.

And if the future comes down
this way, then I am the lucky
one who broke the usual medical
pattern of extending life at
all costs. I received comfort
over cure, as I prefer.

Good luck.
