Is Happens
The walls between is and is are thin
as are isn’t and isn’t
and don’t even mention maybe
I’m not doing my best
I’m not doing my worst
I’m just getting through the day
Sun is growing dim
loosening the connecting line
binding excrement and time
Shadows hug each imperfection
deception, exception
snag sin of skin within
Time blinds
life abounds
abides
