Read That Twice

In vast realm between both false realities 
efforts of a strained bowel movement collapse
like the arithmetic dreams of abacus beads.
Arthritic persistence contemplates procrastination
while stillborn attempts at cleverness 
seem to flicker as defibrillator paddles exchange electrons.
You can’t revive what wasn’t alive.
