In the ulcerating silence
   perspective comes
   the way it always does-for it's random
   so randomly...somebody calls...
   the phone rings and it brings Niagara Falls
   and 3 o'clock in the morning
   "'You'd better be dyin'-and you were
   -So we talked about time
   and where it went,
   unremarkable events,
   and how one day took two days
   and they got spent.
   how you'd continue, carefull, in degrees
   trying to do one true beautiful thing
  
   and your beautiful thing
   it'd be
   a beautiful thing
   to see
   that beautiful thing
   continuing
  
   'I don't live there, I just commute'
   secretly cradling a joint and I might puke.
   a-fumble with the keys, under duress
   the point is, this is, practise duress
   at 3 o'clock in the morning-
   'you'd better be dying'- and you were
   -so we talked about things and where they went
   big remarkable events
   and how each day's a new day
   and they get spent
   how you'd continue, artfully, like the breeze
   trying to do one true beautiful thing
  
   your beautiful thing
   it'd be
   a beautiful thing
   to see
   that beautiful thing
   continuing
   your beautiful thing
   continuing
  
   your beautiful thing
   will be
   a beautiful thing
   to me
   a beautiful thing
   continuing
   your beautiful thing
   continuing
