what would happen if i just let everything stop? let the world go quiet,
the edges fuzzy,
slowly going black?
I'm picking up

       What you're putting down

                   You didn't have to throw

                                     it

                                     at

                                     me.
I didn't even need the hint
alright I’m the worst poet you’ve
ever read
I mean what do you want
me to say ?
You said I had
a diamond heart.

Is that why
you crushed it –
thought it wouldn't hurt?

bar grey
as muzzy
print

from your
morning paper
droplets of
ink
a small bird sings
in the wind in the
trees in the wind
a small bird sings
