the less sure I am about
what she meant
when she told me
not to fight the
inevitable
do I feel the bottom
of this pit of quicksand
if I stretch my toes down
as far as I can
or is she right in
saying
if I fight it it only
makes it worse
if quick death is
worse
than slow sinking
I can't be sure
maybe she's being merciful
and I misread her intent
telling me not to inflict
more injury on myself
and let it happen
not arrogant perhaps
an act of kindness
since she sees men like me
go from knee deep to Chin deep
by struggling
when if I surrender
I might at least
have a few more hours of breath
before I drown
I have brought it all down on myself
and for that matter
she is right
