The Old Man of Japan
like-a-night-terror slip pin g  out of vie w                                   the words elude.   so keep there the                 eyes      unfocused at paper or/// screen till the sentence---- rushes into sight.                   break it.                         ^^                  butcher it.      keep it.<<      >>  analyse it.   toss it .                                         kiss it. where w a  s it?                  was it ee ee e even here? a tremor in the night awoken without the memory (all poets say is a million different "I can't love you any other way.") of a line i wanted to write.

remembering a line when drunk at night.
I'm tired of feeling this way No matter what the day Tired of feeling disjointed, disfigured With my missing parts scattered on the ground Knowing not all the parts are there to be found I am only deconstructed, not reconstructed I can never again be whole I'll never be myself of old Someone tell me why I should go on Only a piece of a person, most of me gone I just want to lay the rest of me down, how can that be wrong
