when when when

people are dead inside, and the dead inside

are people who are thinking outside

the box is a mind when

is out of reach and

that particular peach is out of each

mouth succumbs to words like

love juice leaks out of the deaf eye

but I think alike for a like

when wrens follow black dogs on a white horse

I double-image the self

serving and deserving the atrophy for a fee

time and a life sentence, a trophy

dead-eyed nonchalance misanthropic I

shall see you in a box

off lead, lead, and when

bullets are not through enough for you

if you are already peachy dead inside

cum back when you may
