i wonder

if i repeat

that i will not die

will it happen

at the end

the beginning

or the middle of a sente-

*

what is the point

is a pointless question to ask

and even less to answer

for all there is

are the small things

like tomorrow or yesterday

or if this is the worst it is

then something will be better

but it will take another small thing

building like water droplets into a waterfall

that can break rocks

power cities

give you the ability to turn off

your light after swallowing pills

and hoping for the best

*

i am afraid

of sacrificing myself

for this world

that won’t sacrifice

itself for me

but that is being sacrificed

in global warming

commerce

and war

through me
