Chowed Down
For my last meal. I was served up humble pie. I’d finally decided where and when I would like to die. It’s foolish to leave it up to chance. Just think of the damage old age does to ones reputation. Gross there goes old poopy pants.
I’ve taken note. And found nothing to prove otherwise. There exists no gods other than the ones we humans have made up ourselves.
I always maintained i had free will. As long as I had the ability to become a martyr. Whenever I wished. (in my own eyes) The ultimate act of defiance in the face of tyranny. It was so clear to me. Like the shit eating grin i was captured wearing. When I was filmed trying to get myself killed to prove a point.
An inside joke I’d never spoke of for it was no laughing matter. Like the bits and pieces of bloody brain that rained down and stained the onlookers. That just moments before mocked my sincerity and strength of will.
I had foolishly thought I’d get the last laugh. Somehow forgetting Murphy’s law always persists. To ruin the best laid plans. And make a fool out of every kind of woman or man.
I‘ve half the face I use to have. And not quite enough brain damage to keep my mind from kicking me in the nuts every two seconds. For ending up a quadriplegic in a wheel chair. With a bad taste in my mouth. Instead of a well fed idea blowing freely thru the air. Out of everyone’s hair.
Pasta
Four years ago my family left the city for the countryside. One of the benefits since coming here is discovering all the different restaurants and cafes nearby, and in particular there's this pasta dish which blew me away, and whenever I returned, it was all I'd ever order, along with some Moscato. The pasta in question is called spanner crab, and the only shame is that I'd wolf it down so quickly, the experience was over too quickly.
So that would be my final meal. Anything Italian to be honest. I had pizza last night, and for breakfast too.
Happy Place
For my last meal I hope to have a granola bar and a bottle of water. Because if that is my last meal, it means I've just completed a nice long hike with my dog and that's my happy place. I want to die doing what I love the most. Refreshments are had back at the car post-hike which means likely my pup is stowed safely within the car and won't get lost between my passing and when someone comes upon us...sorry in advance to whomever that is.
Just One More Bite, Or A Situation That Would Bite?
I would choose an all you can eat buffet for my last meal. I figure as long as I keep eating, I stay alive.... right? Worse case scenario, once I am stuffed and feel really sick, I wouldn't have to deal with that feeling for long. However, if I wound up so sick that I started throwing up, would they delay the execution? Sure I'm toast anyway, but would they want to deal with a bigger mess?
