Burn after reading p1.
1.
Light up a cig, tie a connecting rope
around your neck and ballsack, and then rub,
madly, while staring at your dog, a pet
who doesn’t know his name and is licking his balls.
Keep the track, till you're find dead by your best friend,
fucked up purple face, laying in the floor like shit,
all pallid white, with cum all over your left hand,
and drool running down from your mouth to your shirt.
Then, fuck; call the cops, cut the rope, fuck,
the whole show, a lot of tears involved,
everybody wants to weep but they feel stuck,
then, a single tear after which all cried.
there is nothing to understand about this mess,
it’s a shame, but everybody has a mind to tame.

Author's Note
This piece is the opening fragment of a four-beat poem titled burn after reading, which I wrote a while ago thinking about suicidal thoughts, and the selection and reconstruction of a couple of comments made to the video clips of some of my favorites songs hosted on youtube, an activity that I find fascinating.
The piece has a structure based on the heroic quatrain and the heroic couplet, it tries to maintain a construction of the pentameter with alternation a / b / a / b, ending in a / a. It has a rhythm based on the reversed foot. About the contrast between the iamb and the trochee, however, it is a free verse poem.
