sadness

kick it down the hall

kiss it goodbye

mail it to your enemies with no return address

piss it down the shower drain

pluck it out and chuck it away

burn it with the autumn leaves

put it in the top of a dandelion and blow

shred it to bits along with the junk mail

toss it out the window while you’re driving on the freeway

beat it until it doesn’t make a sound

cram it into a bomb with the fuse lit

jack it into the upper deck with a 34oz Louisville Slugger

steal its wife

flip it the bird

slit its throat

but whatever you do

don’t invite it back to your place

after dinner

or on some Wednesday afternoon

when you’ve been at the bar drinking all morning

it won’t ever leave
