                                                  pinned 
                                             to folders
                                          I’ve learnt 
                                           my lesson 
                                     with Indian ink
                                                 & I put 
                                            everything
                                         into the trade
                                   today is Tuesday
                                         that’s the day 
                                              I was born
                                       & I travel alone
                                             I walk alone
                                            I sleep alone
                                                 I eat alone
                                               I think alone
                                              I dream alone 
                                      in this relieved state
                                  fellow visitant of yours
                           from a respectable distance
                                        remarking my course
                                             & being at present 
                                               just from himself 
                                            he’s trying to escape 
                             through the door of my dream
