They Were There
“It came out of nowhere.”Wrong. You simply ignored it.You saw the warning signs, but you were too busy to care.“He didn’t change a bit.” Whether blind or ignorant; the signs were there.He became more daring.He, himself, became his own bugbear.His passions—he quit loving. Whether blind or ignorant; the signs were there.When was the last time you saw him eat?You saw the warning signs, but you were too busy to care.He became an insomniac; he was beat. Whether blind or ignorant; the signs were there.I know, because I once was too busy.Then one morning, “It came out of nowhere.”And then we had to bury. Whether blind or ignorant; the signs are there.I know, because I show them everywhere.I write about suicide a lot.Get ready to dig up another grassplot.
