Yes, you have toilet paper and toasters and televisions and clothes and computers and cars and scooters and bicycles and three, maybe four, beds and a wooden porch, carefully constructed to endure the roughest and toughest of winds, and a Build-A-Bear turtle, dog, and, of course the bear, and cameras to remember precious pasts prior to pathetic presents, and Christmas presents and iPhones and iPads and iTouches and iDon't really understand why all that matters! You must detach yourself from the objects that you cherish before you detach from humanity. Not "'till death do us part," but now! If you hold on to all that is inanimate above all that is real, you will have nothing in your final demise. You will not be remembered. You will not be loved. You will leave nothing behind but the objects you held dear in life. And those objects will be trashed. And you will be gone forever. And the world will move on.

Without Sight
I can
live without sight but not without sound. Even in the darkest hour, eyes will play fool, yet my ears
shall prevail. At daylight's slumber, I will hear the cries, those to which I cannot
ignore.
