Have you ever liked someone so much you regret meeting them?

you can't be what you're not.
even more.
you can't not be what you are.

Today I will write with no ego.
Look at me, writing with no ego,
I’m amazing.
****!

she said
on that
day

you will
be numb

we will
inject you
with thick
liquid

deadening
the pain

no signals
will reach your
brain

on that
day

so you will
not feel
a thing

I said so
how will
that be
different
from
today

she laughed
uncomfortably

we imagine huge plastic hands

sleeves pulled down

funny



what if leaves were cornflakes

all crisp like frosties



he used two shovels



the wind will take the rest

away
