if my first name started with the letter O
I would kill myself
and move to Portland
and eat cheerios
when I finished I would ask you if your pee ever smells
like cheerios
or anything besides pee
and you would say I’m disgusting and I’d say
I was joking
but then take it back
because I’d be dead and it wouldn’t matter
you don’t matter
I want to write “you don’t matter” on your forehead
and on your house
and on the earth
and bring you into the universe in a rocket ship
to point a lot and show you it
just so you know that I am serious
that I mean it
