Delectation in Decapitation

It has recently come to my attention

That a cockroach can live up to one week without its head.

And what a week that must be.

A week of no second guessing

A week of no doubt or overthinking

Where one only has heart and instinct to follow

No regrets. No paranoia.

The perfect chemical balance by simply removing the chemicals

Equilibrium.

I bet that cockroach lives more in those seven days

Than any human being lives in a lifetime.
