Trigger

I get the feeling as a poet I’m

supposed to write about everything

and take it to heart

and try and make these connections

between emotion and the

real but when the time comes

I’ve always done what needed to be done

I might write about it later

and try and find sense in it all

and try and put the pieces in their

place but when it comes time

to decide between living and

dying I’ve never hesitated to

pull that f*****g trigger.

Nah. Trust me, living is WAY better. I've been to the edge and stared into the dark abyss below...but someone I love dearly pulled me back. I chose to read this because I was hoping it was about Roy Roger's horse. (laughing) You see, with a sense of humor like that, I have to stick around to watch eye rolls from my kids.

Heh isn't Willy Nelson's guitar named Trigger too?

[Fabian G. Franklin]

Yeah, I forgot about that. Willie probably forgot it a few times too. (laughing)

Hahahah!!! Almost guaranteed.
