...

If I could cover up this world with words
Today
I would sit and type and write and
Spit
Upon the floor the walls the
Face
I see in the mirror as well as
Those in the corner

One final absurd blanket for everyone
One final black barbed wall of teeth
One step off the cliff and into the sky

What a day for my hand to cramp
My tongue to knot
My pen to snap
What a day for language to fail
Under the weight of concrete
