sheos says

I was those seeds, I am this meat
This meat hates pain, this meat must eat
This meat must sleep, this meat must dream
This meat must laugh, this meat must scream
But when, as meat, it's had its fill
Please plant it as a Daffodil
.

— Dr. Wilbur Daffodil-11 Swain,
in Kurt Vonnegut's Slapstick
