David Foster Wallace committed suicide.
I sit in my bedroom remarkably unsettled,
knowing how pale my talent is compared
to his wintry words some might remember
him as a figment of clarity, others by
his soft hair. One day the sunlight too
will be dead and the cracked city streets
will cry for a new resource of light.
David once wrote: there's something missing.
Like an angel of judgment, he was right.
