AND comes crawling out from under the floor, looking smug maybe
keeping a secret, knocking it’s head as it stands up
only to be squashed by YOU
YOU dropped like an anvil right on top of the now exhausted AND
the two uneasily entwined
AND slipping between the cracks,
YOU dusty and fading in the light gray afternoon light
Both words slightly stunned by the flash of DID,
DID popping and expanding to the point of cracking –
then in a flash, a snap – slapped in the face to join the pile of it’s relatives
by an angry grayish sepia WHAT –
WHAT hangs in the air,
just for a second before starting to teeter like a drunk trying his
hardest to stand and sleep and keep every one’s attention at the same
time….
then they are all there blended or julienned or minced.
Finally pushed by the next unknown word (only a stutter at this point)
into a barrel of water, all steaming as they drown.
(S’s climb out on a stairway made out of punctuation)
Our view closes down to just a pinhole.
Then black.
