status binds us and we are
cutting off limbs with
flat head screwdrivers.
do you hide under the covers like i do?
does the Vicodin block the heat like your air
conditioner?
billiards and midnight jogs do
not swim like professionals do,
but they keep my memory from defaulting
to all the chairs you placed jeans or
leggings
or a hope for a swift removal of pain
inside of a safe with
fingertips stronger than narcotics.
a pass code for purpose is a pig in flight;
we have maps but we will not ever understand how to read them.
