Evil eyes punishments. Gluttonous for that. Statues with noses broken deem a value incomplete. Looking at a blue pigeon and keeping in tune with the halls ringing out to the people with sound, I conduct in the brain services for all the people I do not know. Closers minding the shells and company get a profit from the native-born. Sagging muscles don’t help a damn bit. And claustrophobia, keeping me in. Pounding my finger in an electrical plug to play a simple game called logistical truth, the tiny holes won’t fit. A current might awaken me. Tongue to the outlet it becomes fun.

Issuing a statement once to digress a new means of communication seeming valuable to me as I reached for my paper cup lips.

 

        Painting a picture to remind myself where I had been for future reference, pioneers trampled me in. Collecting wild bird calls, dead fish screens. This time I didn’t fight. I knew the fate. And wanted it.

 

        Penance for the short laughter I’ve lived. Carbon stains my hands when I wad it to
