23. When a Certain Defintion of Death



            I am certain that you will
            look my way when
            my breath has ceased to
            circle and my eyes
            no longer blink so rapidly
            and my heart beats
            more rhythmically

but do you see
I’ll be too
dead to
appreciate it?

You’re waiting for me to turn into
a person
and you’ll just disappoint
yourself with how
you define it

            and I’d laugh

but it kills me, so it isn’t funny.
