There's a book
I keep by the side of my bed.
I got it
at the estate sale
of a woman who had lived
to be one hundred and three
(and still had all her teeth,
said the daughter).
It's called "Forever Young,"
a thin book
about
ways to stay healthy
and live longer.
I flipped through it
and noticed
starred passages
and underlining.
I purchased it
for a quarter.
On the surface,
I pretend I will read it
one day
and learn its amazing secrets.
But really,
it's a talisman
from a powerful wizard
and I'm keeping it
for its arcane
magical powers
to extend my life.

About D--th
About D--th
(whose name is so evil
I will never say it):
It is a robbery of what is most precious: [life]
No true God condones d--th
with fairy tale stories of heaven.
No religion that says you get another life
(which only pacifies you into accepting the BS of d--th,
never gives you another life)
is hopeful.
F--k the d--th penalty!
Everyone who thinks it is a good thing
is seriously deluded.
How can we steal like that?
But murderers? F them too!
and warmongers
and greedy killer capitalists
and anti-environmentalists
and racists
and everyone who profits off of war
F F F them.
Don't think I will go quietly.
If it comes down to it,
I'll use my last breath to say,
"This is robbery! Scr-w the cruel god that made it this way. And F the random universe, too."
There is only life,
whose name I will say
over and over:
Life! Life! Life!
I want to keep it,
to promote that it is the most important thing we have,
and strive to preserve it.

because you told me
I woke up
as a bad-ass madman poet,
stalking downtown,
daring you to cross me,
to try to fuck me over,
because you told me to "break"
and what you don't know is
I never will,
but then I felt
a horrible desperate loneliness,
injected behind my eyes like fire,
melting my neurons together,
seizing my limbs,
and it was a feeling the night couldn't cure
and fucking can only hold at bay
and fucking and fucking and fucking
can only hold at bay.
