The sound of thunder

on the hills made me
think everything was being doubled.
Does it sound that way to you,

is everything doubled? He

got a call from his girlfriend
that sent him over the edge. Why’s
not important.

Everybody talked about him later

and laughed like we do at misery.
Like

when we’re nervous or feel superior.
You can turn away,
and leave them to it because they won’t laugh

when some day death hears them breathing in the dark.
