catastrophic heart failure pull the plug get up and take your first steps in a very long walk toward rather than away at some point the distinction collapses but the trick is maintaining such long enough for someone else to start maintaining it for you always a good trick smoke and mirrors dazzling bright lights intoxicants fistful of dollars trying to hold my head up on a block of mistakes grazed wounded embittered bodies are piling up bigger bigger bigger up and away restorative brilliance nothing like the new old coming back to life old ideas new methods of employment depreciation saturday night callings unknown distance separates us will be through the door in no time at this rate throw up a slab of concrete nothing so discrete as to annihilate the border between the two of us forgotten what we were forgiving don't worry i will never forget you can't tell you why not that the lightening would come and strike me down for the sake of telling you why but that you would not be able to hold your tongue and the word would spread like god making my existence a difficult entreaty fuelling the source of ego destruction throwing up another word never used let me take you on a conceptual voyage through an understanding of appearances that is totally unfamiliar to you in similar sounds but another language hide me behind tongues i don't want to be seen sleeping in under cover heavyweight layabout hold me in your arms it is cold in here and the heating takes too long to warm my bed is so far away hold me hold me hold me so ensues messages of mixed variations switching on off first times for everything getting used to the unbelievable you will be the first to know when i begin to believe but don't hold your breath the air is not suitable for the exercise wearing out the lungs the ears the heart can i just put a pause on all this noise it is interference i have stopped hiding my diffidence let this totality split itself forever onwards
that's not how i would put it
how would you put it
a little lower and facing the other way
which way
here
like that
uhuh
no no no how would anyone know what the hell you are doing or what you are on about
...
silence is not helping your plight
may we just allow the object to which i have given voice the opportunity to speak
