Mothers and Pneumonia
No dear I’m not mad, just contemplating the end. Exploring the possibilities and the limit of my mortal skin as I run the wedge, and it penetrates that which covers me... Then I wonder, how far it should go to surpass the pain you’ve complained. No dear, I’m not mad just drinking away the thoughts and spinning with the music that plays, trying to comprehend my words, and reach my limitless space... 'til I am dead --- And then we wonder how much more I should take to feel the numbing pain as you’ve complained. No dear I’m not mad just contemplating the end. And thinking the thoughts forbidden enjoying life as it ends --- For your sake my dear mother my pain begins, when your agony ends So no dear mother, I’m not mad, just contemplating the end. And wishing nothing but your relief, and my wretched life to begin again.
