Wherein Words Cease

Here.  This.  Now.  Always.

Forward.  No.

Please.  No.

Rake the skin.  Peel.  Sever.  More!

Drink all.  Tear.  Rip.  Cross section.

Spill and catalog and drink.

Sip the path.  The curl and trail.

The tip and pool.  The scatter.  Lick.

Know.  The origin and sea.

Turn back.  Look away.

Sample and core.  Press and preserve.

I have not the stomach.

Sit still.  On the cool museum floor,

forehead burning, palms rough.

Sit still.  See the glass.

In skin.  Chains upon chains of information.

Locked and waiting.

Clean.  Uniform.  Homogeneous.  Undistrubed.

Please stay.  Please stay.
