said before where it is i'm situated.  and now it's snowing.
shesaid since then i've felt this way all ways,   in a hole dug 
and no ladder no rope no nothin' to help me out.  and i think i should
dig deeper.
she said.       (and i thought it was snowing but it isn't).
she'd said since she'd insufflated all that gunpowder her nose
has never been the same.        thinks more gunpowder'll do the trick.
we counted one two three, four (to ten then back a gain), discussed the
severity of gravity         and it's relationship to graves dug with shovels.

pointed up at stormclouds (this is what passes for nostalgia, these days),      think it's
raining     now-ish
(and we haven't any holes to fill,       to drown our selves in).

point up.
here'bout our selves rest (on shelves),
next to old oldthings i'd bought when they were new.

run-on sentence run-off a cliff.       falling (fell) to death like picture
person diving into shallowend. broke his back and what's more his spirit ('cause everybody
laughs at mistakes past and present, and in the future all this will change with atoms split like our parents). run-on survives plummet. we understand now, not wondering, that repetition works so well for any of us with our heads in the oven. (repeat: i''s veryvery import'nt to clean th' oven regularly and to preheat b'fore resting head on th' cooktray.) * like leprosy or other like. other something s and oft no thing s like that and and it's flesh not really on somuch as off,oft enough to dirt or either gravel ,perhaps, not a grievance ,perhaps, somuch as a bless ing.
