even
what you
mmmmmmmknow
won’t
kill you

in the stealth mode
flying below the celebrity radar

I console myself
with apparent satisfaction
I can draw another breath

the steps I take in someone else’s shoes
that the promise of the future is in the past

I saw a blue heron

along the tangled river shore
mmml(I wanted to tell you)

above the washbasin
year after year of the same old lies
