Once finished,
Broken legs splinter forth
From dirty theatre floors.
A wine glass of water-
Music to haunt to-
Legal documents float from a printer
And ambien makes the words dance.
Life seems like a diorama
Made of parts
Left over from science fairs
Flunked out for decades on end...
Are you crying or laughing
Or can you not tell?
Your so poor
As one, who cannot afford
To feel, to dream, to sleep.
