self-importance is suicide
and suicide is
self-important.
i don’t care about
your brain matter spattered or splattered on the wall or the ground
just waiting, WANTING to be found
so some someone can say some something, smattering
about how wonderful you were, a flower forgotten,
or a fountain untapped or some other meaningless metaphor.
do yourself a favor and build–
MOLD
MAKE
CREATE
a bridge:
a bridge overlooking a still stream:
a stream so still and so smooth
that you can slip into it and lose yourself
between the water and the air,
unsure whether to exhale or inhale.
