Begin to Dead End


I want you to count down from one hundred.
100, 99
Slowly
100.... 99....
Breathe deeply
(breathing)
Now tell me,
98
Inside you
97
What do you see?
May 12
Don't skip any numbers.
96
Keep breathing
95
Find the light
94
What do you see?
May 12
Stop skipping ahead
93
Try to relax
92
Feel the air inside you.
91
Compose a poem where everything rhymes with your pain.
90
What's the first line?
May 12
No, no, no, we need to follow the sequence.
89
That's right
88
Keep going
87
That's right
86
Good
85
Follow the bread crumbs into the oven of your sorrows
84
Smell the yeast rise into the emotional scarring of your crust
83
Spread the preserves of suffering onto the toasted muffin of regret
82
Bite it
81
Taste it
80
Where does the flavor take you?
May 12
Seriously, I know it's difficult, but you can do this.  Stick to the sequence please
79
Very good
78
Even better
77
Think of your pain, your suffering
76
Feel the sorrow and the emptiness
75
Embrace the absurdity and the pointlessness of your life
74
Where does it come from?  Where does your pain begin?
73
That's right!
