i hardstare dead ahead

thru the calendar walls

at realities overdrive

i see grandparents

younger than me

weeping air

over

a

year-old red-top

tv guides 6 across

~

sandpaper dry newspaper pages

crumble at a covered cough

sparking a smokers tut

over

an

empty bellys

sink estate cry

& 
hands like sepia maps

hold chipped china cups

of warm bath-tub gins

pale pale

fade-away 
dreams

five letters it says

they have a D from armageddon

so it starts with a D

'permanent state youre in' 
it says

'walking _____ '
