Instructions for Disappearing

If it is your ambition to vanish
You have no need of scientific guile
Nor will spells translated from the Spanish
Allow your form to disappear with style

Consider another course of action:
Let it be known that you are ill, somehow
Watch as by small increments, mere fractions
Who you were becomes the thing you are now

In fact, as your body starts to betray
You'll see yourself become a spectacle
And hear the gawking asses snort and bray;
If things get strange enough, then tackle

That your ghost will abide, clothed in gossip
As into smirking anecdote you slip
About the Creator

oof, this one packs a punch. Great entry to the challenge, D.J.!
My goodness, this stings. "You'll see yourself become a spectacle And hear the gawking asses snort and bray." There's a painful and annoying truth. Well done!
A dark narrative very well written! So unfortunately true about how we treat others.
