Next of Kin
where am (i can't find me) oh my
(yo tambien) it's essential, follow
the leader many places- we've never
been, i'm deeply moved- the next of kin:
broke free from the tree that roots with
in even when (i see i lose) i win i know
better yet- i keep forgetting my sweater-
in the rabid air, frostbitten, chewing bites
gnawing holes thru the night:
'all the better to breathe thru'-
out the solar system of a downward spiral.
my breath is bile, i expect a single file-
following a (leader lost) can't keep up the
cost is a cause, thrifty cheap laws stretching-
still missing the point
