Update


Poetry is not dead.

It's waiting for you

to die first.


Dares you to write

like drunk lover

dares you to care.


Tries to slip

things in your drink

and give you a room.


Hopes you'll hang

yourself with pen,

paper, a blog post.


Dreams of muse

talking you daily

into suicide.


Imagines police

find no evidence

muse spoke to you.


Wants someone

other than you

to eulogize passing.
