I Am Not Suicidal
I am not suicidal,
although in dank pub toilets
I hold two fingers to my temple
the shape of a gun.
I am not suicidal,
although a stair top clothes hanger
blows on the breeze,
as romantic as the wild rose.
I am not suicidal,
although a free fall from a free way bridge,
tantalizes like the destination
of each passing soul below.
I am not suicidal,
although the feel of smoke
wrapping its vines around my lungs
I crave for and accommodate often.
I am not suicidal,
although I’d happily sip poison from a capsule,
a modern Romeo,
if you were to lay still my Juliet.
