then, god damned smalley

              i could smoke another cigarette

                                    wish it hadn't hit me yet

            resolute and nothing more

                                    an open distance to the floor

when you're dancing with

what i'm dancing with

            visit every where  or why

            follow force with

watch it die

the fact is never far away

but at least i'm feeling good today

there’s a small e for energy

small e

            so easily

a small e

for emergency

small e

too early

            simple logic

                        pure and plain

            stare right through

                        back again

brutal questions this has raised

has left me counting breathing days

it's the small e for elegy

the small e

            erratically

a small e

for epitome

            can the small e

                                    eventually

give way

to empathy/eulogy                                                            

eternity
