if you ever fall asleep
and definitely while you’re awake,
try not to dream,
it’s futile,
and you might as well wish for
the end of gravity.
don’t bother getting out of bed.
the world is crowded enough
without you and your big ideas.
the world spins.
we stumble on.
I’ve had enough.
I attach no importance to life.
I do not matter to life.
I’m of the opinion that
when one ceases to feel
one should keep quiet, so
I starting to wonder if
one bullet would do.
as hard as my head is,
it would probably take two.
