Anti-suicidal ideation

 I will not

Carry your remains in 

A baby stroller

Preaching the perils of suicide.

I will not

Put my walking shoes on 

For a seminar like that.


I refuse.


I will not say

I didn't tell you

Not to put

Foreign objects in your mouth

A gun 

Isn't something 

You ever put in your mouth.

And you oughta know

Better than that.


I will not say

I told you so either.


I refuse.


I refuse, mama

It was your defiance

Your magnum opus

The thing

That would absolve you

And elevate you all at once

In the face

Of a challenge.


I refuse

To tie me to you

That way.
