NaPoWriMo, Day Eighteen, Poem Sixteen

Catching up again.

Rest

Rise
baptize

you can
fall again

forsake
civility

catch up
nothing.

failed
enough

to meet
classmates

one-miss
wonders

back home
for beers

in Dad's
old dive.

stay home
with none


pick out
own poison

pick own
slow death

know how
got here.
