I'm changed in the way 

your brain set

Not the thinking part 

but the knowing part

that sadly set its face 

on the staircase 

And then die is right! 

Here, we're right here

in the pre-death like 

the minutes

in the blue chair

before you board the airplane

are only minutes in the one chair

before the minutes

in the plane chair or how

a screaming rabbit

snagged in the cat's teeth

is the massacre

of my imagined kindness or

how I have to piss and 

this ink is the ink

until I piss

There's that brass bird

I saw last in the place 

coated in cat piss

with the porch 

on which I set

my mother's plants 

to die and the neighbor 

let her tub run 

to cover the floor

My friend my friend 

would stop to drink

from the round cup

set carefully for him

me lying like I wasn't 

sitting waiting

and now I guess this 

is only in minutes

after that

and maybe the cat suffers 

for its nature but maybe I suffer 

for nothing my life my life

is a goddamned pom-pom

Maybe in the whole world

no one saved a seat
