Let’s shake on it
so we can muster the courage
to walk onstage, face the crowd
take a dive
and plunge into
darkness
Let’s pinky promise
to keep in touch,
be the next of kin
donate blood if we must
meet our significant others
Let’s not fake it, boy
it benefits no one
(not at this stage anyway)
to “care” without really investing
ourselves.
A poem by Duffboy
