i know
but i am lazy as Pinocchio is 'but needed'
slouching by the busy road
i'd rather rot in this prison of air
my laughter and rage the wardens
than risk the traffic of life
boyfriends drudgery and piss
getting checked for AIDs each year
like it's a fucking birthday (i wonder if the doctors give out lollipops) for me the part in brackets lessen the impact of the line. i think this line is extremely powerful and poignant
watching my family
swell like a grape with new life
an army of nieces and nephews
to hate me like all children do
death is no comfort
but if anyone dares to enrgave on my tomb
"HE DIED THE WAY HE LIVED"
i'll haunt them into suicide
the title could be a little more obscure but other than that and the point about the stuff in the ( )'s i really enjoyed the read.
