Wishful Thinking, Misanthrope


Sometimes I think 

The world would have been 
A much, much better place 

Without me, so much better 
That I wish I could 

Flash back to that hard dirt floor 
Just before the midwife 

Helped mom push me through 
The darkness, stop everything and settle 

That long-overdue score I have 
With who-knows-what 

That’s killing me—surely 
I could live with that

And wish no more.

    That’s killing me..."

    Ah, there's the mystery that's slowly killing us all. I say keep writing until it's really over
