<Snip of an excellent poem>

FOR NADIA (AND ALL ELSE, OF COURSE):

When I opened my new eyes
On that cool August day
I had no idea
What the doctors would say

As my senses all came to
I realized where I was
And with my new mouth I began to smile
For no reason except because...

I was alive!
And that was great!
I had fulfilled
My chosen fate!
I would live
A longer time
'Cause of this
Frozen paradigm
I was preserved
Cryonically
Thanks to Alcor
Industry
And so I'll have
Many more days
To see the world
And change its ways

So now I get to live my life
But I'll always wonder why
If I can extend my life
Why will so few others try?
