what do we do
in the face of inanity?
what do we do
surrounded by this mess?
we can’t even meet
at Margate Sands
can’t build bridges ‘cross this black space,
this emptiness.
What do we do
when even our own words
betray a sense of defeat
of fatalism
of nothing and nothing.
what can we do
when all i want
is to touch the inside of your wrist
and nod like this, saying,
saying all of this.
