How It Feels When I'm Dead

Step 1 Draw a warm bath.

Step 2 Take off all of your clothes. Enjoy the feeling of nakedness.

Step 3 Remove all of your skin. Enjoy the breeze against your organs.

Step 4 Carefully remove all of your soft and wet parts, one by one, and place them next to the tub. See if you can spell your name with all the little pieces. Tap on your ribs and listen to the hollow sound they make.

Step 5 Enjoy your skeleton.

Step 6 Then, slip into the warm water. Let your bones float quietly. If they sink, then you are not trying hard enough.

Step 7 Now, you can either stay in the tub all afternoon or you can get out of it. If you get out of it, then put back all your organs in their right places, and then pull your skin back over you. Now look in the mirror, and say: “Congratulations, my bones are clean.”
