Suicide Without Commitment

If someone sells synthetic highs
Does that make them a spice rack?

He claims he doesn’t sell such things, of course
Just suicide without commitment
Oblivion in instalments 

He seems to do alright

The sky is moving further away
Though few seem to notice
This receding firmament

Like the ring of pale light haloing a black hole
We’re happier with the dark
Than with the ever-fading light
