glass and bone (-Ed)<br />
Crushed by gravity and looking up from the bottom / attack this living thing<br />
this man inside is not me though we chat / beautiful in the jar -<br />
mostly one-sided, it's true<br />
/ some retributions hang from<br />
if he could be anything it would be me in a wheelchair / the lips <strong>of</strong> the infirm;<br />
but be sure my toenails are painted black<br />
/ swollen gutters shedding last year's<br />
I dread fungus<br />
And in the kitchen you would find all the usual things<br />
relatives just as real and breathing as they were when you were all fifteen years younger<br />
and the glare in your eyes was just a reflection <strong>of</strong> the coming moment<br />
and not the screeching cacaphony <strong>of</strong> a shell falling like<br />
an oak leaf, the wrong time <strong>of</strong> year<br />
it's the wrong time <strong>of</strong> year<br />
