lengthy oration commands stay this station
preparations made fold hands to take
a full pot of sold eggs and hot water
strategies for living, did you read?
stately forgiving, though thanks
for the wish. i seem to have lost
the shelf that your book was on
(by that i mean it's gone to one of
those boxes on the street, pretending
to be a municipal something).
no sharp ceiling, only passing
try: it was functional, rejuven,
other words i did not finish.
picking up a way that was not
part of that play, a script
with characters written at
the outset, i am going on and
stowing the old in a place
that will not go away.
