Back

Sometimes I
dream
forward but
mostly
go back

and it is
always cold
sweat and
silent screams
that wake
me.

My whole
life
can be
summed up
with a
cheap trick
and a smart-ass
one-liner.

I only seek
what anyone
would,
if they were
honest
with themselves -

an honorable death.

But I
cannot recall
the texture
of honor.
