Book Cover & Preview Text
Autopsy Should I die in some kind of mishap, murder, or HBO-worthy virus I suppose they would want to perform The usual bisections The second last letter of the alphabet Turning the torso into peeky-flaps Like an advent calendar My children, whoever they might be Would want to spare me the humiliation of having my insides bared Would strenuously object Because they know that when you’re dead and naked, and bloodlessly rifted that judgments are made About what you’ve done to your liver
