poetry by j matthew waters

lesson four-twenty


a philosopher friend
once told me
try to look at this way
when the dream becomes reality
death is no longer an option

he was pretty stoned
at the time
so i didn’t want to ruin his buzz
yet the more I thought about it
the less I was concerned
about dying


may two thousand twenty-four
