one morning

humming and shaking 

w/my guts masquerading 

as the eternal flame 

so fuck off i¹m always in pain 

blaming myself as the pencil neck 

architect of my own ache

there is no "inner dialog" just 

the shouting that is me 

desire demanding desire 

demanding i remember every name

but in humming like a shadow 

i could back up off 

evaporate some shame 

& remember just one morning
