Nobody wins. Fight after fight and war after war, the only emerging constituent is death. Death like glass shooting through your spine on the twenty third floor of a Chicago skyscraper. Death like putrid smoke and vomit filling a bloodied field. Or filling a party on the wrong side of town. Death like the cool leather of the couch for two that sags under a heaving body, because no fight is left to give to a lost war.

The permanent end or destruction of something.


The Instantaneous and Perpetual Moment of Death's Inexactitude


death//n.


The greenlights and stop signs of your vision are clouded over by a rolling mist, almost resembling a morning tendril of fog. Each no becomes a laughing maybe, and shot after shot the bullets sink down your throat and a laughing maybe becomes "I want this." And ironically, the moment before it happens, you almost do.
