Good Morning, I Am Not Going to Commit Suicide Today

ByKimmy Walters

good morning,
I am not going to commit suicide today

so far two lovely
things have happened

I ate freeze-dried strawberries
reconstituted in whole milk

and I heard someone piss so intensely
that I was able to imagine that
her body was hurling a liquid javelin

lately whenever I see an animal
I wonder when its birthday is

two beautiful dogs ride the bus with me
on a regular basis

I can’t commit suicide on a dog’s birthday
my god
I just can’t
