There are different ways to die, of course,
whether willingly
or on accident.

You could have placed that sweaty soap
on the ground for just that purpose,
a less-hilarious banana-peel
tick-tocking its way to time-bomb effectiveness.

You could take pills
or climb such great heights
or tease the postal service.
Anything’s possible in this time and place.
You could say the wrong word to the wrong woman
on the wrong day and then everything just goes wrong
– or right –
depending on what you’re going for.

There are different ways to die
if you’re looking for it.
It’s so easy
if that’s your aim.
