Sometimes I cry just to feel the drip of life trickling like a thin creek from my body. I let the droplets of heartache slip across my face and freefall to the awaiting floor. I let them take me over and choke crude sobs from my larynx. And I let them pool into a puddle of blue devils glaring up at me.
Sometimes I watch the world from a distance and laugh at the turmoil. I have seen the smoke of death depart from buildings as their bases tumbled effortlessly downward. Life is temporary. Life is like a purgatory hotel. Let's enjoy all five stars.
