wondering how it all summed up itself in such a way
as if the body would last forever, as if this thing that exists
to cart your sorry ass around

Beneath the scratches
spanning this page,
random thoughts
have been paved


I have no substance
in the world at large,
but this beat of life

Circle the wagons,

Arrows and spears
