<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They chained dandelions to decorate the dead,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Filled vases with roses and mimosa fans.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The mortuary was the shed out back<br />Where Old Daddy kept his drill rig.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was best when Peach was the deceased,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lily the preacher,</span></div>

<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Peach lay stretched on Old Daddy's pine work bench,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Serene as stone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Rae cried and questioned God,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Rolled on the cement floor</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Like a fish in dust.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lily stood on a crate</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And spun the story of the loved one,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dead by a sudden violence,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Snake bite, train wreck, stray bullet,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On the way to ever after with his true love.</span></div>

The peculiar experience of time has often been noted as a hallmark symptom of Dissociative Manipulation Disorder. Patients experience time as purely and relentlessly linear. The concept of digital time is sporadic. Round time is beyond conception. Living in linear time robs the DM tof ability to be patient. Little research exists regarding treatment for the "time torture" symptom of DMD, although scant studies indicate that bilateral ECT, DBT, art therapy, and the attainment of spiritual stability have provided significant relief to a small portion of the DM population, depending on their ability to work their asses off.<br />
