Corrosive

morality -- insanity ; rip me from reality into an intangible mess of
          Do The Right Thing ___ said without words to the
bird who can't sing. i want to be a no one, a small
lingering whisper of a theory & hypotheses that are incapable 
of being tested for (truth _____ they lost it, i found it, i
put it back down, hating its feel in my fist).
one step away from argument, words resting in your dirty
mouth, a simple movement of the tongue away from
provocation ______ He was sentimental about His earth &
even when it expired & began to reak of law, He left it
_______ alone. some things don't develop past consideration:
it's taken too long to decide; eradication; everyone cried.
