If I could crawl, I'd take my time
If I could walk, I'd meet you half way
If I could run, I'd meet you there
If I could fly, you'd never see me again
If I were gone, would think my name?
If I were here, would it be the same?
If I saw you, would I shed a tear?
If I

Books are very useful -
You can throw them,
You can sleep on them,
You can be sniffing them,
Some people were even seen
To read them.

Behind your screen
we all come clean
(well, most of us anyway)

A confessional of sorts
you've seen all the scars and warts
(well, most of them anyhow)

We sing for you
we get in such a lather too
(is that why we sometimes find
you on the floor?)

Melting
broken
twice right
cat's eyes
swishing tail
stuttering
stammering
seconds
making
solid minutes

Expressions of grief,
the eyes of a child

An ending in sight
—all nature reviled
