APOLOGY

I'm not dead yet.
I will be, of course,
someday (I might be
now, as you're reading

this--I don't know when
the "now" you're reading
it in is). If I'm
already dead as you're

reading this, I hope
you'll forgive me for
having lured you into
reading it under false

pretenses. I didn't mean
to. I didn't know I was dead.
