I propose an
entirely
reasonable immortality
I propose to be there in centuries to come
And in
millennia to come as well
As progeny of
these my
genes
Well schooled in these my songs
These songs shall
provide
inducement
To the persons of ages hence
And I
shall provide the
properly preserved sample
And the well conceived document
I the undersigned being
of sound soul
Yet
ephemeral flesh
Do herein specify
Those persons and conditions of
agreement
To whom on which
I bequeath my genetic
copyrights
Custody of the corkscrew templates
And other inheritances held in trust
And though acres
of fine
print shall follow
In sum I shall commend my
copyrighted remains
To the care of persons in
ages hence
Moved and qualified to say
over them:
Rise up and be a
clone
And sing the songs of
former times
For which we have not now
the voice
And of all that is about
you now
Risen out of the former
times
To fulfill those songs of
former times
Sing again
