Cliffhunting from Sungazing by Jib Haddan

She said, "You-- You wouldn't stop screaming that night."
I said, "I know, mom. That's just the music that I like to write."
That's what I'll be doing for the rest of my life.
I'll be tearing these vocal cords as if out of spite.

Since I live screaming, it's only fitting that I die screaming too.
I'll drive my car a hundred miles an hour into
some guard rail above a giant ravine.
Then the only thing that will matter will be gravity.

First I'll need to buy a car.
One where I can stretch my legs out all the way.
So the next time I self destruct,
I'll have somewhere to stay.
Then I'll go driving around the country,
screaming at strangers for pay.
But that life will come to an end
when I find the perfect cliff one day.
