I push a penny of a porch railings to feel it plummet and hear it’s final ping And push a nickel off at night so I don’t notice the novel shine as it falls on a noose And push a dime only at dusk and dawn, as not to disturb their daemons, and as not to degrade their demise And a quarter at midnight, so it’s questions and queries with which it quals can be quietly cast Then I imagine myself as an inkling, inching forward with indifference, inquiring on the irony of indignation if I insisted on ending it instantly, now

I push a penny of a porch railings to feel it plummet and hear it’s final ping And push a nickel off at night so I don’t notice the novel shine as it falls on a noose And push a dime only at dusk and dawn, as not to disturb their daemons, and as not to degrade their demise And a quarter at midnight, so it’s questions and queries with which it quals can be quietly cast Then I imagine myself as an inkling, inching forward with indifference, inquiring on the irony of indignation if I insisted on ending it instantly, now
