death becomes them?

what many don’t understand is that
when u pull the plug on a loved one or 3
u pull the plug on yourself
how could it be otherwise? Your leftfoot
remains at the edge of said precipice for
some 18 months give or take
you are now fearless re: the big bangless bang
you realize the futility the utter absurdity
of staving it off (as if)
also you intimately know how an entire existence
is snuffed out the grandeur the devastatio the name
in one second gone never to be another

Me
you flirt with the shrewish reap who doles out
the elixir of sleep you fuck with your parachute
eat tenders kick the halfnaked crossing-guard in her lardbelly
go ahead arrest me! kill me! run me over!
the peace of that crooked smile beguiles
the frozenvisage dentures in place (I can’t remove them..she might bite me..)
rigored fingers
bewitch
+beckon
our dead our heroes who have gone where we
fear to tread now become extraordinary +brave
face it death (especially murder) thrills us
but here you are left standing yet again dickinhand
at the pearly gates with a HUGE craving for
sex+candy
