13,394. THROWING ONESELF IN FRONT OF A BUS

THROWING ONESELF IN 
FRONT OF A BUS
Not that there's any attraction to that,
mind you; I'd rather a train. Quite
more likely. But, really, what's to
leave behind anyway but a splat. 
A grease mark, part of yellowed 
brine, part of blood and oil? These 
may be eternal questions in some 
mad rest-home of the mind, but here
for the present present, or for the 
now of now, everything tangential 
becomes a debating point. I want 
to look off, far off, from any of 
these chattering things.
-
Not so pleasant, these marks of Cain?
Whatever they were, I've made them
plural because I surely have plenty.
