"Did you hear that?"

"Sssshhhhh......"

"hear"

'It is nightingale'

'No, no it is lark'

'oh you are such a catastrophic'

'it has to be lark,'

'love is Shakespearean'

'life is denial'

'it's time....'

'yes, it's time, it's time to write death poem'

(the other person stares)

"to what I owe this breath ******,
to what I know this death moody,
lingered upon your wish to die,
to die is intellectual lie
into the circle out in snow,
thus I entered thus I just go"

(Beloved reader, by the way, that was nightingale, imitating lark,
lark was never a bird, it had always been our conviction.)

Here I enter
enter to take the knife from your hand

I cut my throat everyday

Catastrophe is an existence

my friend is a traitor
he did not held my head in lap
one last time

reincarnation is suffering

agony is overrated
overrating is an agony

thus I must not live
thus I must not live
thus I must not live
Sometimes I suffer these fits of paranoia
Could be the bipolar
Could be the government
Could be the aliens
Whatever it is— sometimes it gets crazy
I pour my water bottle into the bottle I already have because I trust my bottle
I get nervous right before a storm
I wake up at the same time EVERY night to check the house...
No sleep... yet so energetic
Why is everyone tying to play me?
Is my phone tapped
Sssshhhhh just listen.........
