Emily K. Courtney Biography

I have lived in all over this rock. I really enjoy the slam poetry scene. If you write it, they may read it, if you read it they will hear it, but if performed well they will understand it...)

The Best Poem Of Emily K. Courtney

Why Ask Why?

“Why did she do it? ”
They all want to know
I have a shameful confession
I don’t really care
All I wish to know
is how
How did she go?

Did she stick a gun in her mouth
to taste spinning led as it meticulously removed the back of her head?

Did she wrap a chord tight around her neck
till the only song sung was diminished?

Did she jump off a ledge
painting the ground when she hit?

Did she spread her veins open
And with what did she use?

Was this her first?
Cause we know it was her last
I hope she was creative
Not dull or plain
Was there a note,
hand,
typed,
or written in blood?
Who cares about why
When how’s so much more
fun
