Yes or No
"Do you want to die?'
She asked me
Clipboard in hand
I paused
What a question
I didn't know the answer to it
Tap, tap, tap
"I don't know"
I told her
"Of course you know honey, its a simple question
Do you want to live
yes or no? "
"Yes, i want to live"
I said
Her pen swished
across the paper
"Yes"
I repeated
"But not here"
