can’t count today /
one is too many /
7000 is not enough /
to make a convincing statement /
as a toe in the eye /
just before a reasoned knee jerks back /
if all this mad erasing /
was done without speaking /
every molecule would be hung /
because because be cause be /
language is time /
and all time now /
is delivered to the raging cause /
because it’s what friends do /
on the surface of the planet that is their mirror /
and who plant a banner /
with every polished stride /
talking and biting at the same time /
practicing serious tones /
but never grave /
that might draw an image /
where cameras are shattered /
all this, only guaranteeing they will /
find your door eventually /
and not wipe their feet for the welcome
