Life After Death

Code blue miniskirts. Leonard, what is it like on the other side? Challenging the definitions, watching a man die on the television. What is a useful life? Leonard abandons the turtleneck, unfurls a collar testing the line between life & death. Floating over the red bug, the blue pool, the green field: peace, tranquility & low-end warbling.Tell the nurse you’re not there. Start your heart again, without speaking. Put on your mask. Leave your body. Do not return to the hospital. Become involved with the canopy of leaves. Cut open wide awake, make a board of mind thought. You cannot see the wound.
