Coagulated emotions
like blood
produce clots
which travel to your heart
and kill you
With each beat
your pulse weakens
as you do
over time
You will die
you know
it’s the style
in which you go
that counts
Imagine if I weren't medicated….

Death by attrition sucks!
It’s not economical.

It’s a lowly end result. If you get on the blood thinners, something else will kill you. We should consider ourselves satisfyingly (word?) screwed.

Are you trying to conform to poetry, Dear M’lady?
Because this one might hold up to the old guard’s standards.
Also, Uncle Tree rocks.

Nope, I was just thinking about blood clots and heart disease (of several sorts) and how it’s a tragic way to go.

“Look, bitches, that ain’t just smoke in the air but my dear friend bindo. That’s it, breathe in.” Also, I don’t know if I can do poetic justice to you, but I will do you neurotic justice.

Bindo, you are not the first and you won’t be the last to dream of allowing M’Lady and I to do what we will with your ashy remains and/or your severed head. Of course we accept.
I can tell you that we get funny looks out in public or in poetry workshops. Are you sure you want such outcasts to make a menu out of you?

Never mind Bryan. We’ve never been asked to give an eulogy poetry slam. Really, we’ve only been asked to do guest spots as a twosome in our own minds. We will honor you with as much zaniness and care as we can manage.

Yes!!! I’m totally the one for the job, then! I shall headline your eulogy slam. Bryan can be my second fiddle. He’s too cheerful anyway.
