if the space…
if the space
in which words
are said
is reduced
does the meaning
become an
exercise
exoskeleton
retrofitting
touch to feeling
to sound and
back to town
or does all the
liquid strength
in the world
fall down
in light drizzle
by the bus stop
start go as we
turn our palms
upwards
waiting for our
fate to be read
by the liquor
of vicious gods
