the man read an article about anthony bourdain
and he felt sad
all over again;
then he thought about his dad
and all over again
the man felt sad;
then he thought about a minister friend
who intentionally caused his life to end;
at all these self-inflicted wounds
causing emotions to be strewn
far and wide, the man just couldn’t get mad;
for him, all over again,
it is all just so very, very sad.
