than I am to 7.
My forever is only
42 years long.
I outlived Christ
and Bill Hicks,
and Belushi and Bangs,
but I wish I could be
40 for 40 more years.
I used to care about
new book launches,
and other bullshit,
but now I let the universe
figure it out.
I am testing the limits
of the human heart
today and every day
with poetry and pain.
