the crutch is finally breaking beneath you

the eve of my graduation
its hot today
the kind of heat that makes you want to sit inside
watching television
the lights off
blinds shut
im not doing any of that though
im sitting. then standing. sitting. standing and walking.
its like a god damned catholic mass
rehearsing our march of affirmation
unmindfully marching like swine to the slaughter
not seeing whats truly happening here
we are baby birds being kicked out of the nest
most will hit the sidewalk with a finalizing smack
i plan to spread my blood soaked wings
i vow to live. not to survive.
