Should have done this sooner

Could have done this sooner

Would have done this sooner

No Witness, No History

* * * *

The end nighed

* * * *

Got it

* * * *

DNA’s Litany

* * * *

Lost in the Shuffle

* * * *

Fate is

* * * *

The destiny of all

* * * *

No life to live

* * * *

Toying With Imagination

* * * *

A curiosity for truth snuffed without mercy

* * * *

Go away, Kid, ya bother me

* * * *

Go away, Kid, your Mother’s calling

* * * *

Do not, do not, do not, I repeat, do not, do what I did

* * * *

Let me out!

* * * *

Bring a shovel next time

* * * *

The fountain of youth is down here somewhere

* * * *

Go away!

* * * *

Haven’t you got anything better to do than gawk at headstones?

* * * *

Enjoy that breath

* * * *

Always question, always doubt

* * * *

The fountain of youth is within

* * * *

The last vanity

* * * *

Oh, for a time machine

* * * *

Only the dead know the end to absurdity

* * * *

There are worse fates

* * * *

No more stories

* * * *

Devil’s advocate for the gods

* * * *

Moi no more

* * * *

Got out with a few chips still on the table

* * * *

Life is a marathon, not a sprint

* * * *

Alone again, naturally

* * * *

Free at last

* * * *
