Life is a missed stair
A Defibrillator to your chest
I used to forget the alphabet when I was a kid
And lie my way out of humiliation
Three days into jury duty and I think I could be an assistant district attorney
Just check that I'm responsive every now and then, that my heart is beating And if not, push the
electrodes deeper into my sternum and kiss my mouth,
Read me the letters backwards so I forget even worse
and tell the jury they can be dismissed early,
Let them go home,
With respect to my mortality,
They don't know a thing
