a tip of the slung by Laura Doomforgive 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. 06/04/2009 Posted on 06/03/2009 Copyright © 2025 Laura Doom
