SUICIDE

First, suicide notes should be

(not long) but written

second,

all suicide notes

should be signed

in blood

by hand

and to the point—

that point being, perhaps,

that there is none.

Thirdly, if it is the thought

of rest that

fascinates

laziness should be admitted

in the clearest terms.

Then, all things done

ask those outraged

consider their happiest

summer

& tell if the days it

adds up to

is one.
