Oreo Cookies and DeathA Poem by Jason HenryI wanted to see how destroyed I looked. I'll never know the pleasure oncoming traffic felt. "At least our lives aren't as bad as this" As the walking, talking stool approaches. He couldn't help it. He was conjuring a poem in his head. But he couldn't personify the drizzle Further than a vicious sting; A medium to hide tears which would not fall. If only it rained heavier. Street lights christen wet pavement Under intermediate black firmament. Simultaneous drops sound the chorus On asphalt; In mine head. So depressing, so lovely. Has my heart turned so frozen as my toes? No, nevermind. I've started to cry now. © 2008 Jason HenryReviews
