Suicide With A Gun
Suicide with a gun
leaves no room
for turning back
No room
to turn the car off
No room
to open the garage
No room
to stick your finger
down your throat
No room
to call 911
There’s no
changing your mind
with a gun
You’re just
dead
Something To Write
On the table
a blank piece of paper
On the paper
a pen
In the pen
black ink
Across the room
the wild eyed poet
sits on the edge of the couch
arms clasped around his knees
Not afraid
that he has nothing to write
Instead afraid
that he does
