2.i pink ribbon

Spoiler

in a similar vein as age gap, i reminisce about a dead person, this time my great aunt who died 2023(?) of cancer (hence the name 'pink ribbon'.) i describe the feeling of seeing things that remind me of her everywhere on the way to vermont for her funeral.

7. i read between the lines:


Spoiler


there are 2 ways to read this:

w/o interjection parantheses:

when i die will you forget me?

(maybe you will, and i'll be left hanging,

like a carcass on telephone wire.)


is it plausible that i know my fate?

(you scream externally,

letting out your deepest regrets)


i must be an idiot

because even a fool wouldn't act like this

(right, i wanted this in the first place

so, it's my fault)



when i followed my mind and not my heart,

was it me or you who drove me to insanity?

when i die you'll remember me right?

(maybe you will, and i'll be left hanging,

like a carcass on telephone wire.)


is it plausible that i no accept my fate?

(you scream internally,

you cried)

so, it's not my fault)



he did it and not my heart,

was it not me or you who drove me to insanity (i was insane to begin with.)
