quoting how missing human strengths zero themselves
closer to an inexact attention to joking through the hull,
the anger moves threatening to catch the wooden purpose
precluded from sticking in the cutting bloom
centered by growing through the incline
so no one can identify the empty seeming hugeness
in the zig-zag the broken ear cites
as a way of standing out of range
throughout the attempt to avoid happening thoroughly:
the taking half beneath the wish to soar to anywhere
making pictures to trace how the tale is staged
as the cavity in the continued verbal aching pause
invents all the knives
to stop the fact the spirit path identifies its sleep
as shaking through the disappearing power dive
grounded to an unassisted thrust the body fossil wants
to keep the thought from caring with a pounding feeling
the useful is too obvious:
the engineered pretending load appears as still more boxes
trying to work the private facts
blinded to the sharpness of remaining purposely more joyous
than the stringent vastly empty dreaming room can conceal
