Well all of us are here for a limited amount of time- so rather than dwell upon it, utilize it to the fullest and enjoy your time here 🤗✌️

Dave, this really struck me. I think many of us who spend time in poetry communities have wrestled with these thoughts at one point or another. Honest, relatable, and refreshingly self-aware, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There’s a quiet honesty here—like you’re wrestling your own reflection and refusing to look away.
That tension between guilt and independence feels real, like creativity scraping itself raw just to stay alive.

I too Dave do it for therapy and yes many don\'t read, don\'t respond and seem not to care. I feel you on that point and agree that it is the minority here that make it all worth while and hold what little sanity I have in place. A write I can identify with my friend. You may say quite a few read mine but not in comparison to all those I read.

How come my NS comments keep you sane? I thought it would be the opposite? lol.

If there\'s one thing I\'ve learned over the years posting poetry on different sites, it\'s that transactional engagement just drives you insane! Great write!

What\'s creepiest is the initials of a colleague, which I never realized until your discussion here. Charming and still morbid, if you ask me, despite your denial of the ghastly reality under discussion. Thank you for sharing.

The fave Dave is for the sentiment in this piece I hold the same. I have known Emergency Room doctors that had the message do not resuscitate tattooed on their chest. The process itself is a horrible one and painful I am told just like when they used to hang a man but not let him die bringing him back after loosing consciousness only to be hung again.

Dave, this gave me a good chuckle, my friend. 😂 \"Life is a terminal condition\" is one of those lines that makes you laugh and nod at the same time. Really enjoyed this. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

DNR. There is a certain dread seeing those words, but for the person in the bed, there might be a blessing that they control their own end.
Yes, the world keeps turning, and for a while we turned with it and hopefully made our mark.

When my wife was in hospital at the end of her life due to dementia I agreed to DNR for her. I was with her when she took her last breath and it was a release for both of us.

Anna Wakey29 said:
The levity in this poem is very much you - even though our interaction hasn\'t been tell-all, this poem definitely reflects your personality through and through. Objectively, it reads as though disguising actual fear and memories rather forgotten through japes and elbow-jabbing. A very good read. I am so sorry you went through this though and I hope you are doing well 🖤

Thomas W Case said:
Three sharp vignettes—each one like a snapped fragment of a larger breakdown, held together by dark wit and restraint.
What hits hardest is the way humor and damage sit side by side, like they’ve learned to share the same room without talking.

This say\'s an awful lot more than a cursory squint .. I have therefore considered it much more fully and & keeping my fingers crossed for a full & speedy recovery plus a quick fix that lasts a very long time .. Neville 😎🤞

The thing that makes me want to shower myself in Petrol and flick the old lighter is \'Chatbots\'. An Abomination.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Dave, what struck me most is the way the poem mirrors the experience itself. Fragments, sudden transitions, unanswered questions, and then the dry humor of \"Released early (good behaviour?)\" at the end. Knowing this came from a sudden blackout makes the whole piece feel even more immediate. Beautifully done, my friend. Hope all is well and no more blackouts have dropped in on you. 😬 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

So the doctor was hot to trot, but you couldn\'t convince her to go home to your cot.
Take it the hospital food is still crap, and the local Chinese delivered.
Good to see the show back on the road.

Might be a couple of bucks left in the old nag, yet?
