6:\>6inches**
if you-re reading this
and asking god "how?"
the answer is "pills"
...it was the pills
that did me in
i finally crossed that large item
off my "to-do" list...
it has been a long time coming,
but you know i have always had
an issue with chronic procrastination
i have postponed it for too long
sought too many ways to
rationalize
such radical visions
in my mind,
i have live and died
several million times
in those million visions,
i didn-t find many answers
instead more persistent questions
most of them are
ontological in nature...
those i don-t think about
cuz i would loathe to think
that i would still be tormented
by darkness comparable to
that which creeps into my mind
when i-m by myself
all i know is
there is a
distant between
the heart and the brain
of about half-a-foot
and there-s a distinct
possibility
i just missed heaven
by six inches
