The people who
have a place,
are the ones who
forget there is
a place for them to be.
Alternate routes
to exceptional talent
fall from the tree
at night.
They have blackmail,
so that only their
time is the right time;
when light passes,
words are spoken.
The well is dark and deep:
more money,
more fame,
more art
caught in the trap.
I have resigned
to become you;
a shell of my
former self
is still not enough
payment.
Raise the bucket
with water
too beautiful
to drink.
