im going to drown billy collins

the art of drowning:
i’m told you know it well

if a life flashes before your eyes
i’m certain it’s one filled with
scorching heat of nazi hellfire ,
jerking off to child pornography,
wind-tickled palm trees dancing
on the grounds of your rich estate
while you whip a slave, thoughts of
how do I do my taxes while vacationing
on the French Riviera & can I write off
child pornography as a job expense

“dust in the wind” playing yes billy,
child pornography is a job expense

billy collins “dust in the wind” is a
song that is meaningful to you;
all we are is miniscule, life is so vast.
look into my crazy eyes while I hold
your body under the water and each
of your too-many years of life on this
earth work their own magic pulling you
down towards the center of the world,

at the bottom of this pool is a reason
for me to live; i will take you there
