Probably Not Children's Books Poem by Charles Malcolm

Probably Not Children's Books



Funny,
the pain that
we endure
just
to
spare
the feelings
of others.

Everything is fine,
we mumble with fat cheeks
dead eyes
black lungs
and dribbling chins.

I'm going to kill myself
once my mother dies,
my good friend said to me.

Talk to somebody
other than me,
I told him,
and once they stop listening,
which they will,
try writing.
