i made several etchings in my sketching pad some wretched reachings at the love we had with pencils & stencils i outlined our path but my designs were confined to crimes of the past filled with charcoal barcodes all sparkling black the receipts that we keep to compete & compare arguments we begin just to mend & repair i yell & yell trying to tell if you're there but the transactions happened & it's been a year i'm fading away but i wont disappear i'm still here
