another sucker to love you to death
yeah, so i’m super sure
that before i die i want you
to try to do everything
you can to save me.
i mean, don’t run up a bill
we can’t pay, but yeah
let them put in a valve
or a hip joint or new dna.
i get it. we promised to
try and stay here for each other.
if i can’t speak, find a blessing.
if i need a wipe, welp, then
serves you right. if i die,
put my ring on your
right hand and (nice try)
go look for another sucker
to love you to death.

especially love “if i need a wipe, welp, then/ serves you right” but the entire poem
Wow! What a jolt of a poem.
title alone has about 15 meanings, parentheses hold much….but still, this poem is perfectly clear
Yes this was a surprise!
Wonderful, punchy, rhythmatic.
