I dream of t.v. screens
white noise eulogy
fuzz invading aural passage
feet dangling inches above the floor
within an inch of my life
face bloated and blue
tongue black and swollen
eyes bulging
death can be so ugly
so instead
I dream of t.v. screams
white noise therapy
fuzz invading aural pleasure
feet planted firmly on the ground
within the path of life
face shadowed and true
tongue red and burning
eyes pouring
life can be so ugly
so instead
I scream at t.v. screens
memorizing my eulogy
pain invading aural passage
one foot on the ground
the other in hell
always so far from life
feelings bloated and blue
words black and swollen
eyes fading
choices can be so ugly
