SUICIDE

For the first time he thought about suicide

considered what it would be like

to end it.

To kill the suffering

stop the pain.

He thought about executing the action that simply ceased

everything.

For the first time

he thought about suicide.

He wondered how to do it

with what and where.

He wondered who would care

and when they'd find out.

He went through permutations

alterations of potential plans.

For the first time

he thought about suicide

and then thought again.
