a tip of the slung

by Laura Doom

forgive me
for I know
exactly what I do

and

assuming that you care
I'm sorry that it's you

to breathe I must
withhold my breath
to feel, stay out of touch
to love, peruse thesauri
sketch impressions
with my crutch

for knowledge does not speak to choice
while unparsed silence steels my voice

the sneer of dream
as nightmares fall;
to play's the thing
to limp, is all.

I think I needed the same once. I feel this is a little odd for you. Good, but odd.

I keep wondering if you have a broken rib - don't ask..... just a silly thought. Those last two lines...
