Still

Hey, I just woke up just now and realized: my father's still dead! In fact, he'll remain that way for the rest of my life! I won't ever wake up from some dream and find him alive all of a sudden.

Nope, don't look like that's ever gonna happen from where I sit. No-dee no-dee no-dee nohow.

It's a sobering thought, but who can remain sober for long?

I know I can't.
