Stuff the 'Dying with Dignity' Act
Stars go out with a bang
A candle's flame's intense
the moment before it's extinguished
And so, too, Buckingham Fountain*
springs up like a geyser
just before it's tucked in bed for the night
That's how I want to go
gathering my strength
and exploding into
a thousand glittering pieces
