Well, I tried drowning, but that didn't work; somehow the urge to life, mere physical life, is damn strong, and I felt that I could swim forever straight out into the sea and sun and never be able to swallow more than a gulp or two of water and swim on. The body is amazingly stubborn when it comes to sacrificing itself to the annihilating directions of the mind.

The still waters
Wrap my lips,

Eyes, nose and ears,
A clear
Cellophane I cannot crack.

I lift my eyes and all is born again.

I fixed my eyes on the largest cloud, as if when it passed out of sight, I might have the good luck to pass with it.
