Ryler Dustin is an amazing, Seattle (shocking) poet who regularly ripped it up at the Seattle slam and was on the Seattle National Slam Team in 2007. This poem is nothing short of genius although if you are left at the end wondering what the heck it is all about, you're not alone. The thing that I love most about this poem is that you are just along for the amazing ride and usage of words, whether the context is clear or not. The killer line for me is "not like suicide but like setting himself free/ when the nurses fell back like you did from me." Just. Genius.
