Sympathy and Envy

Until my friends abducted me

The world was a cubicle

The point where the passage runs east to west puzzles me

Your world

It is you and, it seems, through you

I see myself

To the south is a portent

An asking for work and a shower

A cubicle

Benched

Over the horizon is the greatest writer ever to have lived

He is not blind nor sure

He is nothing and has never written anything

We care about

As we do about ourselves

If we write

As the world will go

We’ll go

And we will

Pretend

In the presence

Of delinquency and parody

There are animals bursting and lacerated

By the strokes of bells

There are lashings of the soul, a trill

The movements of assassins and hunger

The world is formidable and proud

It is angry

The four points of laughter recede into heaven

We stand and listen

We know them we

Know ourselves

This advance should not now be the last

In our last breath the gleaming reminiscent teeth the scrotum

And disgust—it was rotund

It was extemporaneously pleasant

It was legal and menial

Our shoulders will leave us

Our voices will bleat

Help us the world is lost

Help us

We get what we want.
