Value

you can't put a price tag on my life

not because it's too valuable

but because it's worthless

i hold it in as much regard

as a gum wrapper


i use my phone at the gas station

and walk on the outside of the sidewalk

i don't look both ways before crossing

and slip my toes over the edge


i lean too far over the railing

and leave my front door unlocked

i leave my seat belt unbuckled

and take one pill too much
