So this alone thing
and I
are rationalizing
our way to peace

No one
to pull
the sheets
from

Feel that rise up
gut clench
all the sheets I want
reality

Become a being
unseeing
in a crevasse
uncertain

I was
just
there
what happened?

to an accepted shadow
an ok-i-fied fit
about ever
I wonder

Wandering down
another ragged edged
set of lines
to here's return

this is a me ness
without
being
occupied

still furtive
and petulant
even
rebelling 'gainst naught

life not
playing against
hmmm
playing off?

Some small thread
of ruination
pulls
at me

Time strung
with adjectives
is dejected
I need adverbs
