HOW DO I DISTORT
BUT MAINTAIN
BEAUTY?
MY MEMORY
FADING
AND I ONLY FEEL PRESENT
HALF THE TIME.
THE FRAILTY
IS ABSENT.
THE IMPENDING ANTICIPATION
HAS DRIED
MY MOUTH.
ALL THIS BACK AND FORTH
TONIGHT,
I LISTENED PATIENTLY
TO BROADCASTED SILENCE
ON THE RADIO
WE ARE BOTH
LOST IN THOUGHT
THIS MONDAY MORNING
REMOVING
THE MASK
HAS CRUSHED
MY HEART
