The Write Way to Die

What’s the market rate of a life?
Well if Israel spends 220 million dollars a day
To sow the gaza strip with Palestinian bits
At least two hundred fifty of them daily
Then a life is probably somewhere south of
800,000 dollars

Not really in my budget

What’s the market rate of a life?
Well if a box of Sig Sauer Elite 40 Cal is 23.99
With 20 rounds in a box
And four Glock 22s dump
32 shots at Breonna Taylor while she sleeps
Then a life is probably closer to
One thousand six hundred forty one dollars
And sixty cents
Six hundred for each Glock
And a dollar thirty for each bullet
A lot cheaper if you only count the ones that hit her

But still out my price range

What’s the market rate of a life?
Well if a box of Federal HST is 31.99
With 20 rounds in a box
And I use one round to speckle
splatter bits of gray matter onto the white walls of my studio
Then my life is probably somewhere around
Eight hundred one dollars
and fifty nine cents
A dollar fifty nine for the bullet
Three hunnid for a dirty Glock 17
And nine hunnid
for the security deposit
on my apartment

Not bad. A bargain Glock, really. But on top my student loans?

What’s the market rate of a life?
Well if Aaron Bushnell yells Free Palestine
On a twitch stream
Through a phone screen
That AT&T gave me for free cause I had a trade in
All the while fire resistant OCPs
Warp and wrap black, orange, and yellow
From a dollars worth of gas
And a ninety nine cent lighter

I think I’ve finally found a bargain
