:: Boiling Bathtub ::

The water in my bathtub
Begins to boil

But I am like a frog
In a silver heated petri dish

Unable to distinguish
The difference

Oblivious to my fate
As the knobs are turned
From warm to hot

Unable to question why
I chose this spot

And damn it's getting hot

In here

I'm sweating

And although water surrounds me
In my naked state

My pours blush
Rush

As the laws of nature gravitate

Toward me

Like I'm the last man on earth
Like I'm the only one
Who gives a fuck what the human contribution is worth

I'm dizzy now

Having trouble to see

Those 17 valiums and 3 martinis
Are starting to take their weight on me

The bathtub explodes
Onto the floor with a rush

Then trickles, and slows,
To a flowing gush

There is a hush
In the room

As my breath becomes a whisper

My last four thoughts are pure
I can't resist her

As lady death kisses me on the lips for the last time

And I write,
"Why are we here"

Underlined

As the last line
