the first element is
not
helium
and the rest are lost
somewhere in the bad quarto
of death cliche meccanism
sudden maniacal memoryflash
and robot mice and monkeys
trash in the head
dust in the closet
paper hearts stitched to sleeves
indicating the end of images
and the end of the war
end of feeling
calling the doctor
when the feeling is
waiting
for him to lean
close whisper
i am ready to talk
but I have nothing to say
the doctor?priest
himself having nothing
to say
sm les a t thless sm le
s ys softly
call me
when you are
ready to talk
