dying is

getting older and dying is
like using a pen that runs out of ink
so you scribble in a tiny bush in the upper right hand corner of the thin white


only the empty grooves of the loops show                                                 no ink

you have hope
you make the loops wider hoping
the wildness of the loop will get ink gushing


only deeper empty grooves of the loops show                                           no ink

you run the ball in lines on top of the white, down the side
you don't care if you ruin this one
you just want to make sure you can underline what's important


only the lonely grooves like a clear moving river show                           no ink


                                                                                   
                                                                                                                   no ink




                                                                                                                   no ink




 you start to believe that you'll have put this one down






                                                                                                                   no ink
