the toxicity of air

I was dead before I was alive,

And I am always asleep before I wake.

I don't know many things

But I am scared of nearly everything I know

And nothing has ever hurt me

Or maybe it has; I cannot remember

But maybe my memories are hidden

Sometimes I want to cry at night

I think that crying is good

And that dying is good

I never once have not wanted to fall in love

If people knew me I think they might cry

If I knew people I don't know what would happen

The end is always more important than the beginning

That might not be true

People never remember their beginning

I don't know if they get to remember their end

If I were something else I wouldn't be sitting here typing.

My back hurts and there is something wrong with my eyes

There are too many days

I mean that I have lived too many days

I do not know if beginnings are more welcome than ends.

And I don't know if I even believe in beginnings or endings.

This sort of thinking is boring, silly and tires me

And I am organic.
