One More Book

I answer her question with a rambling joke.
 
Do I have a plan in place?
 
Nah.
I'm too easily distracted.
Knowing me,
I'd be about to go through with killing myself
but there would be one last book I'd want to read.
Or one more poem I'd want to write.
One more place to see.
One more topic to research...
 
One more gelato flavor to try.
One more sexual experience to have.
One more cause to help.
 
If i had any common sense
I might end my life.
 
But there's always one more book.
 
And that's no joke.
