I've pre-applied
for my misery
aim to be
hollowed out
on time
this way
this way

I've lumbered up
these steps to this
penultimate one
asking if I'm here

And I am not here
again on my way
steps I have taken
follow me loudly

If I am accepted
if I get to say
well, anything
am I gone away

Let's lie to the wind
and the sun
let's tell them
all the work
is done
Let's invite in
all of your sins
do you have
them within
you now
In a sentence
what **** of
what would
you join
and why

There is this
dissonance some
confusion over
innocence an
inhuman
diffusion
begging for
resist dance
and I comply
mashed potato
pie in your eye

So mostly I do this
write upon
same as you
And then I'll obscure my state
not to mention my actual
not knowing thas howsum
jes like yours
fold it back
like you do
consider
all the ings
and ain't they
ringing
to my distance

the wholistic labelling
of little bits
of said
is what we're
med ov

The squirrels
ate my
train
of something

Nuts

Right

Veer quickly

Stil Heer

are ye

Festus and I are
having a contest

Who can be most
colorless

Let the cold stone
brew

an' oscillate
or ocelot is it
again

we talk about when
we are anticipated
to be
extinct

there  I said it
no more of
surly make up
who we are hunh

the face the final
drift against the
hardness and smile

oh just for a while

And if  I wrote a poem
after death would I be
laughing laughing
over you
