poem for kurt vonnegut


i have never read your novels
but i have read welcome to the monkey house
a few times
i love it
i was going to buy the audio book
so i could listen to it at work while i do this mundane
data entry type shit
but it is 21 dollars
plus change
that is insane
since you are dead
i wish you were not dead tho
i wish you were here next to me telling me
whatever you wanted to say
just keep talking
keep pushing air out of your lungs
