we are trying too
hard to eliminate
the
chance
for failure
all of you
running
toward
a
common
nowhere
.2
when another human
being meets
my
eyes I feel as
if I have been
slapped in the
face or deafened
by
thunder or as if a
great lie has
been
told

hatred is a
pain that fades
like the ripped
hangnail
or the smashed toe
only
love can
leave such
fascinating
scars as
these
and still we argue
over the trivial
while the blood
fills our
shoes
.4
it is strange
how the
absence
of
pain
creates a
strange
vacancy
a discomfort
all
its
own

no one understands this:
there are
certain
days when I feel that
if I go out there
I am sure
they will
murder me

never
follow the father
it is easier
to
listen to the
symphony
of worms
grinding his bones
and to
sleep
more soundly
doing so
.7
in one
hundred
years
where will
the dead
cross their
arms when
the
cemeteries
are full and
the ground is
stuffed with
rotting
jaws
yawning
prayers for
a god that
never came
