i can only imagine what i already know


(Downtown Aurora 2002, 35mm B&W)

i do not know if i believe Death is real

Until it happens, Death is like the lochness monster

Bigfoot, God, the Devil, Jimmy Hoffa

angels dancing on the heads of matchstick men

the phone ringing and you already know who is calling

that last word in the Sunday crossword

the ultimate truth or everything we never believed

meeting the toothfairy on the subway at 6am on a Monday eating a croissant and reading the Times

the dance step you can never quite get

the piece of popcorn stuck in your teeth

Does personifying death satisfy me?

It still looms, large as an ostrich egg in a hummingbird nest.

I still cannot fathom non-exsistence.

by that, keep in mind that sleep's a little death in every day
