Forever Young
He was drunk
and twenty-seven
when he refused to leave the pub
with his mates.
Moon was dizzily high
when he left for home,
stumbling along
the train tracks.
Police scraped him
off the rails
the next morning.
Anthony Bourdain
You strung yourself up
like a Peking duck
at a Chinese market.
We cried,
chopping onions
with a dull knife.
Slowly stirring simmering pot
of congealed wounds,
adding too much salt.
Most of us
die horizontal.
