Didn't people die every day that you did whatever it was that you did before the day that you died? All while the uncomfortable truth emerged and whispered that you made no good goddamn difference, while the others stress to burnish into new time the lie that says that even that has got to stand good for something, even if, in truth, it was good for absolutely nothing.

The quilted lap of all cat tops
The quilted lap of all cat tops
cups a universe of the black bean-like pawy-like pads
within ephemerial wafts of bad breath
in the dark small hours illuminated by the lumens by lamplight
in this recling device my body folds
directed primarily by that same gravity that trees ignore like reclining kings and queens
which is why
I would not know,
as it seams the skins of my two hands shining lightly.
