philosophy of death
If you put the gun to your head
and pull the trigger, you will be gone
in a flash. you will not even hear
the bang, it will be the tree
falling in a forest;
all over again.

Re: philosophy of death
I still remember the sound of the "click" of the mechanism
I used to sleep with a shotgun tucked up under my chin my finger on the trigger
and I would imagine the click
and then drift off to blessed sleep
I have not slept that soundly in years
actually I never owned a shotgun
but there was one in my roommates closet, so Imagined that
damn good poem
theme and capture
please pardon pitiful compulsion to
blurt out bits and pieces of meaning less biographical details
'whatever gets you through the night'
when thoughts come wrong side up
I'm not the one to judge

A friend E-mailed me and the message told me of a friend from our pasts who has died,
and I had the thought that, if I had not read the message he would still be alive...David
Terry, thanks for your post pal, David
