i’m so fucking lost today
stepped off a curb in front of
one of those abominably clean running
silent cars
the suburban straight laced fella driving
seemed to mind
walked back into the grocery store
chasing after
forgotten items
three times
death has been calling for days
but i never pick up the phone
he didn’t have to tell me
he was coming
time to
send word to the family
and all i have left to discern
the next time life decides
we may briefly collide
is
what today
has done to your eyes
