i have no chums in the day
where they go
i wonder
they are not vampires
they have not bitten me
yet
so i wander around my wooden floors
pretending they are planks
that at any moment it will all end
i'll step clear off the edge
and god damn it
i've never even been to Canada
or held a spider monkey
or pulled a fire alarm
or cracked my own lobster
this is stuff i need to do before the end!
i pace and tread and stride
i pace some more
my movement is a drug
by now i could have walked clear to Calgary
but thank god
it's near dark
my chums are on the rise...
