"Next of Kin"
One man dead and another,
this one three years old,
throws up in a cardboard box,
coughing and sputtering,
saying I've had enough of
this world,
I'm three years old and this cardboard
box can barely hold
what's inside of me,
white, so white like
milk.
I've had enough of this world.
Enough coughing and sputtering.
I'm old,
I'm three years
old
and experiencing death for the
second time.
