triple suicide server line (Free verse) by Bill Z Bub
1.
oh dear
another cry for help
echoes on the screen
why do I feel
so much
for the suicide
typo?
because I
understand that sense
of obsessed
loneliness?
the indulgence
is sickening
but so good.
the pure
bitter line
of creation
is truth.
2.
Poetgirl, you make me sad
there is a purity
in the dark
of your words
you are obviously
young & sensitive
trying to cope
but I don't know you
& never will hope.
so why do I say such things?
I bite my nails
in the blue light
of a monitor
and sigh
keep writing,
keep going,
keep living.
there is something
there is something
there
is silence
3.
the only thing worse than living
is to die alone
with the drone
of unhooked phone
get stoned
find that warm spot by the heater
a sudden unexpected note
and a simple handshake
are profound.
death will come anyway,
wash out that wound,
and listen for the sound
of the birds
at your morning
window.
But don't forget
to smash that asshole
in the face
when he comes around
to collect.
