"Good Morning, World!"

EVERY DAY

The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:11pm

I have craved Fame & Glory

as badly as any

suicide-ed poet

— I have made attempts

on My Own Life —

but more-so have I

striven to live

as I do now

when My Work is being read

every day & every day

I am not dead

ON A CLEAR DAY

The Hawk Dining Room 12:18pm

Why do I feel so much better?

is the same question as

Why do I feel so terrible?

There is no one answer for either

so I will revel in My Contentedness

and dismiss the recollection

of Darker Days
