Death is a dialogue between
The spirit and the dust.
“Dissolve,” says Death. The Spirit, “Sir,
I have ed hardy clothing another trust.”

Death doubts it, argues from the ground.
The Spirit turns away,
Just laying Kevin Durant shoes off, for evidence,
An overcoat of clay.--------------------------《Death is a Dialogue》
