In the ulcerating silence
perspective comes
the way it always does - for it's ransom
so randomly...somebody calls...
the phone rings and it brings Niagara Falls
and 3 o'clock in the morning
'You'd better be dyin'- and you were
- So we talked about time
and where it went,
unremarkable events,
and how one day took two days
and they got spent.
how you'd continue, careful, in degrees
trying to do one true beautiful thing
