The first of typewriter ramblings


TO BREATHE THE FIRST LIFE
,one step two step
;maybe, just maybe a spoken word
of seesaws and trombones
(is it just me, or do they shrink
?/grow)
the pacifier between your lips --
a dress size every year
;then the stop.

i can count the stains now
#one beer two beers
TO LAUGH AT THE WORST
MOMENT
of a (porcelain) life
;i try,
;i tried

i see no maybes
.infinitely.
"quotations dont matter,"
"i don't matter,"
That
.infinitely.
matters.

i try,
i tried
TO LAUGH AT THE WORST
MOMENT
of a (copper) life
;rust lingers
where you can only feel
the -green-
where the -green- only matters.
Rust
.infinitely.
matters.

i cannot decay
before sinew hands && hollow
bones

i try
; i tried
to live an(iron) l i f e
.
