the culture of disease

thought about
you
today...

and
laughed.

you would love me now,
i have found
a way
to chip away,
to kill myself...

incrementally

just
like
you
did.

opened my eyes
with an excited disappointment.

another today--
a rising force,
a setting sun,
another chance
to
pull
away

...with the rest of humanity,
i am never alone
in mining misery's sweet ore
to
the
bone.

Why do we all do this to ourselves? I like this one, just as I do all of them. You have a way with words my friend.
