Flinch

You can't say 
months or years 
w-/ out trying 
to grasp the scale 
of Time
involved.
Rubber bands 
pinging off one 
two three 
kidneybean cans,
chosen simply for 
occupation of space
line space,
	imagery
in a cage. Thats 
how I'll write 
from now on
pacing the 
paperbacked floor
fingernails my only fuel.
Scritch scratching down
the blackboard.
If only to make you 
Flinch
