Never again

Never again

Could I see the world
Through rare attached eyes
Pushed along the road
Stood in full plentitude
Utterly alone and alive
Shaking like a viper
More nearly animal
Luscious deceptive reason
Nothing left of me
I am gone
My name is lost
Seated as a dreamer
Doomed to perish
Weeping with deceit
Falling apart from need
The unreal behind me
Christ only knows
The street is its own reward
Frozen bottoms begin to slide
Right into me
Back in the night
On the verge of discovery
Cruel swiftness born of tenacity
Promising the moon
Always promising
