Addictive Becomes Origin
this word must have more
it wants what it wants done
bored with letters again
the air between together
look it up look straight up
the sun moves your eye
out of the way dig in layers
come across a ring on tape
of all the faces in the room
the tomb typo nearly
shifting these mutable grains
the lizard had a dream of ink
it must go on for years
a boy undiscovered in work
done without words to cloud
green scale above the worlds
what you know and you
don’t get joined to these
ten letters to a girl in green
the missing man was seen there
the man in the bed speaks
for himself the silence reins
in 1969 the springs are bled
a story called when you were out
dogs play would’ve should’ve
border guards hear burlap
they’ve paid for feathers
the paper hasn’t any following
in these parts no form
we knew one day not long
would fail to hold light
until the earth moved an inch
that it never worked
mostly lined up to keep time
anyone can learn how high
and this work make a ditch
sometimes if you’re different
once you’re asked to play again
the same impossible minuet
of your delicate terrors
they held the wood above
to take the color up to white
not to have to learn the stake
these were parts in the way
a little goes on far too much
this one went white as part
of a set of something which ran
red through the streets of the ear
if I keep my hand just so
he will call himself the next big
and a second of important loss
might think itself a keepsake
who uttered the noise
a box we used to have in space
it may be a year or clear case
enough is too many too white
he knows what we have to miss
