clever, this is one
of those words
i have never done-

my shoulders touch
my ears and i look
into the void-

if you can explain time
or talk your way out
of a beating

then who am i to say..
if you can do the latter
by the former..then..

ii

then ..hats off..
i mourn the demise of
the hat-

a hat might
explain time or..
or not..
