I really like this.

I looked through my journal for any recent poems and only found an essay about the people I know who want or wanted to be dead, and the people who don't.

Cheerful for a rainy Monday morning. The piece ends like this:

--------------

  Why aren't you dead yet?

Motivated by fun, pleasure?

Companionship, philosophy, hope?

and maybe just enough dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins to keep it all going.

-------------

sorry.
