cause cause cause
the table and the paws
stoppages are droppages
plural as my claws
narrator, no
nein nines
only eight a few threes
until the numbness theory
turns geometric
assembling logos
in a street of pathos
pathetic, really really
as serious as a painting
number never move
and sometimes go up
but like a wave
it stays where it's at
and the fractures
are what propagate
down the door of beaten
according to the passive
an active force that denies
a particulate universe
of space and edges and time
where every poem ends
