In this microsode, Sick reads his favorite poem, Thanatopsis by William Cullen Bryant. The word thanatopsis means a consideration or contemplation of death, and as such is a fitting poem for our show. It is written in a way that attempts to put the reader at ease with death and reassures us that we need not fear lonliness in death as everything that draws breath will surely die and end up in the same place.
