nobody will cry
cause yours truly opts

for cryogenic sleep (or cryosleep)
even though my soul
severely limited to transcend very high

nevertheless these lovely bones will lie
and affect a peaceful repose analogous
when Bluto (the nemesis of Popeye)

receives meted and deserved comeuppance
knocked flat out cold on his back
with his bruised face staring blankly at the sky,
but unbeknownst to cartoon creators
speaned (an actual word
meaning the past tense of the verb spean
(or spane), a chiefly Scottish
and Northern English
dialect term meaning to wean)
speechless spectators expectation speared
and found themselves dumbfounded why

[as well as creator American cartoonist
Elzie Crisler Segar (E.C. Segar)
Popeye made his debut on January 17, 1929,
in Segar's daily comic strip, Thimble Theatre
originally introduced as a one-time character
to pilot a boat for other characters
(Castor Oyl and Ham Gravy)]

but synonymous to a bad penny
bully came back bigger 
and badder then ever to life
to wreak psychological havoc 
upon precious impressionable kids
influenced to believe death only temporary
as would be the case if cryogenics
closely related to cryonics,
which is the practice
of freezing legally dead bodies
in liquid nitrogen (approximately
minus 150 degrees celsius to
minus 200 degrees celsius)
with the hope of future resuscitation,

where thoughts of death permeate mine psyche

(on account of my eldest sister experiencing
horrendous reaction courtesy chemotherapy
to treat bugaboo oncologists detected
after "Watching subtle
handy dandy blue's clues
linkedin to the Detectives" a 1977
reggae-rock song by Elvis Costello,
his first hit single, which track,
often considered a classic,
known for noir-inspired lyrics
about detectives, cigarettes,
and crime, heavily influenced
by the style of The Clash),
which post mortem autopsy

initial prompted me
to imagine being immortal

and never need to be affected,
bothered, nor concerned with Yes,
the Gompertz–Makeham law of mortality
a mathematical model stating
that death rates increase exponentially with age,
doubling at regular intervals
first proposed in 1825,
this law holds that adult mortality
arises from age-dependent,
exponential decay
and age-independent factors,

but wise guy, albeit modest me
(and star student daughter)
devised the ways and means
to stave off that approaching eventuality

courtesy with a biodegradable smart straw,
to nurse and quaff Good belly prebiotic
and probiotic unquenchable juice drink for pshaw
cuz truth be told posthumous legacy will live on
even after un-named mortal male
meets his demise meted out to him
after ashes gently
sprinkled across my faux grave,
essentially a wild thatch 
of thriving native indigenous plants
some of which known 
to induce hallucinations.
