If you should survive the fall<\/p>\n
and have to explain that killing yourself is illegal and and you will have to pay the wages<\/p>\n
of the people who tried to save you or collect your pieces<\/p>\n
when the rest of your money was scooped away with a purpose built stick<\/p>\n
counting how many more trips to the ATM you had left before you lose the house<\/p>\n
the same house where the ripped paperwork is in the garbage where you left it<\/p>\n
sitting on top of the full coffee filter<\/p>\n
from the morning when you woke up<\/p>\n
with freedom and possibility like never felt<\/p>\n
going to be a day of opportunity<\/p>\n
falling in place<\/p>\n
the glorious sun shining down on plants and umbrellas<\/p>\n
of those who are unappeasable<\/p>\n
trying to control the dogs that are fucking<\/p>\n
and chasing things they cannot catch as<\/p>\n
it is that time of year<\/p>\n
if you should survive the fall.<\/p>\n
