Asphyxiation
is a declaration
of my unwillingness
of my uselessness

And sickness pouring in my body
as I worry.

What if the thoughts you exhibit create
your state of being.

What if, the morning of your car wreck, you had thought

one less thought
worried
one less time
stressed over how things were
one less time.

Would it have changed things
maybe.

What if you hadn't entertained the idea of your body
or your mind falling a part.

maybe if we learned how thoughts cause the body
to react
we could live for ever
