Make it up?
You must be kidding
or chopping wood in Nirvana
to keep seventy virgins warm
(my shrink is named Dr. Islam.)
I can bend spoons of joy
merely by thinking about them,
I’m the Uri Geller of depression.
Everyone comments on my sad faced
dog, looks like William Macy
on a bad day. It’s not a coincidence
that he’s my dog. I listen to
Mozart’s Requiem to cheer up.
But suicide? Yes, it’s on my list
yet there’s so much sadness
that would go wanting.
Who wants to let despair
go homeless?
