    HEY, I DEFINATELY REMEMBER READING THIS POEM BACK IN MIDDLE SCHOOL! SORT OF STRANGE, BUT REAL COOOL. LOVE THE WHOLE CONTRAST THING GOIN ON BETWEEN THE WHOLE DEATH AND LIFE IDEA. MAKES YOU THINK, YOU KNOW. GOTTA SAY IT'S HELPIN ME WITH MY HOMEWORK. CAN'T BELIEVE I STILL LIKE THE POEM AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. STICKS WITH YOU, DOESN'T IT? ANYWAYS, GOTTA GET BACK TO STUDYING. LATER!
