Private

My friend OD-ed and I wrote this about the rumors arising.

Private!



What’s his address?

Do you think I have access?

I call his brother

And discover

He OD-ed

Feeling life in debris,

Thirty sleeping pills

And a thousand chills

He’s alive

So happiness will arrive,

But in the mean time,

Privacy is on the dime

Immediate

Disobedient

They told ‘everyone’

Can he have a refund

On his private life?

To a world unpriced?

All I said, “he’s OK.”

They went astray

Stop with the stories!

There’re not old memories

His brother comes out publicly

Now, let’s not think practically!

Show some respect

And make time to reflect
