something sad and slow

by J.J. Campbell

i saw one of my
phone sex buddies
online last night

we started our
usual chit chat
which would
normally lead us
to getting offline
and her making
a call

she told me she
wasn't interested
tonight, she was
busy playing her
video game

i told her i
understand
and got
offline

dragged my body
upstairs sadly
realizing at 33
years of age i'm
facing the same
rejection i did at
age 14

i closed my eyes
and turned on the
radio

something sad
and slow

reckoning that if
anyone ever took
the time to read
this mountain of
pages this suicide
would make sense

no note required
