dead PAD 28-3

 Mostly Dead

 

Sometimes I feel like Westley

of Princess Bride.

Mostly dead.

 

And the giant Fezzik praises him,

“You just wiggled your fingers!

That’s wonderful!”

 

While Westley and Inigo converse,

Fezzik says, “You just shook your head.

That doesn’t make you happy?”

 

Westley sums up all they’re up against.

“And you think a little head jiggle

is supposed to make me happy? Hmm?”

 

When feeling mostly dead,

it helps to appreciate the fingers moving

and the head jiggles.

 

And to remember like Westley says,

“Death cannot stop true love.

All it can do is delay it for a while.”
