    EPIGRAPH: Don't count on Heaven, or on Hell. You're dead. That's it. Adieu. Farewell. Eternity awaits? Oh, sure! It's Putrefaction and Manure And unrelenting Rot, Rot, Rot, As you regress, from Zoo, to Bot. I'll Grieve, of course, Departing wife, Though Greiving's never Lengthened Life Or coaxed a sigle extra Breath Out of a Body touched by Death.
