a disinteresting air another gaze within a full length mirror a persnickety grimace bandaids the severed slices of crystal sleeping within my larynx excuse my idiotcy not utilizing punctuation marks cmon darling please please warrant my arrest dementia is not covered under my insurance policy but cough spit mutants like myself somehow survive religiously pathetic empathically morose sympathetically laughable one last day one fleeting precious moment the rifle is gently removed from an uncolored mantle periwinkle would have been my palor of choice now Say ah and place the hunter's metallic eye strategically down your throat everything is pretty everything is so goddamn wonderful sweat on my forehead sweat on the trigger one deep breath one more for good riddance go my sweetheart cmon pull it i said pull it for a starved beggar's last day will be righteously and magnanimously honored by himself

This is really powerful writing, john. Very descriptive and a scary too. That was a BIG shock for me and a great surprise on the poem. I remember you telling me I stood a good chance with it a while back. Thanks! Luv, Andrea
