and the bones you pick up
not unlike a marionette you have to puppeteer yourself across a room
your bed, a warm case that you wish to stay shut.
you clatter awkwardly, all elbows and hunched shoulders
a performance that few people sit through
you do not have enough laughter in you to keep them smiling
