(Based off of a group of folks acting out Shakespearean death scenes)

It starts with him

Dramatically stabbing himself with a foam dagger

Losing his balance and falling to his knees

Gasping for air and collapsing

Then another poisons himself

gripping his shirt and collapsing backward

She stabs another in the back

Watching her go limp at her feet

Everyone drops like flies

Collecting on a dusty windowsill

But I remain

alive as can be.
