vacuum

name
is
the only
word
I never
use

is it the truth
which
cannot be reached?

I dunno sir

fragile
aspiration

the very
moment
when it’s
pronounced

I say

this
could be
wrong

sifting and/or
sweeping

is it all an allegory?

you tell me

let me
know

the time
has come

and yet
the name
fast flies
away

and fears
nothing

the name
right in front of us

can you
tolerate
such a thrifty
existence?

can you listen?

is
the word
not the name

that has passed

cross words
reach the
name

say it

repeat

this
is
not

repeat

ate
eat
