Goodbye for Good

For certain the world doesn't need you Plants find you disgusting Their benevolent keeper They would grow from your cracking jaw If they could get there You think they are beautiful They are waiting for you to suffocate Goodbye for good Goodbye for good A sandwich bag of barbiturates In an empty yogurt container Hidden beneath a little stack of bricks Beside the basement water heater Octopus, Porcupine, Ottoman, Platypus, Opossum, Pelican Wish for nothing more than that you and you and you and you Were gone Goodbye for good Goodbye for good Goodbye for good Goodbye for good Goodbye for good Goodbye for good The world doesn't need you It could have been anything Without your curious fingers Caressing the meadow Patting the chaos Bergamot, Marigold, Daffodil Hyacinth, Dahlia, Woodland Phlox Azalea, Barrenwort, Goodbye for good
