Quick Study
If I melt this
rock which has crushed that rock, I might get glass
or iron, trail predators for what they
leave behind, not homo sapiens
but hyena, most human dog of all.
What can you expect from pages written
by people who want above all else to be
forgiven? Since diagnoses have been
handed out, we’re all afraid. My breasts give
up; your problem is the colon though more
than twenty years ago I tried to warn
you. We are both losing our bones.
As dense
stone will wear away weak composite, so
thoughts compete with one another, thinning
the less helpful through contact, like knife blades
losing their edge in the silverware rack
as grades of steel collide.
