Latrell is Dead

I've tried to tell them time and time again. Latrell... is... dead. He is not alive anymore.

Everybody I told about Latrell was star-bound, like, "Wow. Latrell."

( Bursts from the furnace north
a few fires short of a hearth )

A million idioms
eaten up by the moment. Latrell is dead no joke,
she said, like, this whole thing about dying isn't funny
because we don't believe in it
why else our Modern Medicine?

Though Latrell is dead it doesn't change the fact that
America does not believe in death
and is therefore doomed to
discover it, one day;

Witness Latrell.
