Two Students Whispering In Class
[Two students whispering as the class discusses the novel “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.”]
Blue: Is suicide forever like when a foot collides onto a spider?
Salem: Or is suicide like when you shoot a gun and people scatter?
Blue: Is suicide a door you have closed and cannot open?
Salem: Or is suicide a phone you have broken?
Blue: Is suicide simply a referral to the principal’s office?
Salem: Or a self imposed eviction notice?
Blue: Or a “Get Out Of Jail Free” card, like in Monopoly?
Salem: So, suicide is a person’s patented autonomy for one's own humanity?
