—YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN A TIME IS THE LAST TIME, BECAUSE IF YOU DID, YOU COULD NEVER GO ON WITH LIFE

 

 

      4

 

didn’t sleep

just tossed about

in the formaldehyde

saw a sign  

4 or five

thousand of them

that all said

the same thing

only in Korean

spelled backward

my balance

was complete shit

but I sat up and

blushed in bed

cause I can never

get completely

out of my head

unless I’m numb

vague or near-dead

every dream

was like a

snagged cardigan

loosened yarn

spelling contrition

with too many

extra unreliable o’s

which makes me re-think

what I assume and what

I still need to know

4 oh 4 oh

I’ll see you and raise you

4 more

and if god is god

I’ll meet you

on the other side
