You can’t orient yourself in the dark, accept that. Without exception
Everything’s inclusive or nothing at all. Flip an edgeless coin
And yet, there it stands. Use your imagination if there’s a next time
You need a crutch to suppress the limp
Raggedy soul you bare from the backside of your jammies.
Bedtime stories unfold their plots like grave sites yawn say Ahh
I’ve seen worse, the better off I got. My last job
I toppled angels from pinheads and threw them over shoulders
For luck.
