| Clouds of Mercy i
				sat all day w/the black beetles of madness climbing what’s
				left of my i sat all day w/my frayed, swiss cheese self-esteem, fingering the holes i
				sat all day w/my suicide snickering from my cuticles &
				whispering grab i
				sat all day w/my demons wagging their forked tongues like
				terrible, i sat all day w/my lobotomized boyhood, bemoaning the unspliceable wires i
				sat all day w/the skeleton of god, running a cup back & forth
				over the until
				i went to the window & gazed at the immaculate clouds backlit
