wrote calm

calamity can't hold a 
pen long enough to
write breathe, next to
depravity and concavity,
excise handwriting
tolls itself at the point
of letters, a meaning
south of excitation,
north of polarity
rifting, demagnetized
by leaden palms, eraser-
less and continuing
to express a dissipating
fear of that which came
before -- pauses and their
stoppage clauses have
been fulfilled; what point
can argue itself past the
point of jointedness,
now that things fit
together and carry
wait, patience hands -
crayon or no - let the
devil be and idle
without burning any
gas.
