[I am asked if I'd like to go for a walk,]
Speaking freely & feeling speechless
aren't really distinguishable.
- One languishes with language
full of angst (or even anguish) -
[ while, sandwich in hand, I sit on the floor of the kitchen, ]
Liberally flaming the fires of self-blame
creates pain inextinguishable.
- Cough up money often
to soften up your coffin -
[ The toaster-oven's timer ticks. ]
'til the illness is cured, I'll endure symptoms, sure;
This sick still feels relinquish-able.
- I'd be remiss to admit
that I'd sooner just quit -
[ Let me sit for a while, then we'll go ]

Up at their table they eat tomorrow's breakfast,
down here I stare at yesterday's lunch
