My answer to your question
''Remind me to buy milk, butter for maize
and beer, and clean sheets,- Will our arms
be crossed, or by our sides when
we die?''
When this dawn's eerie boredom drives
Victorian Machinery to a halt, hissing steam
that turns us blind and distraught
It never dies
Screams of born spite, die, but green fear
to do right,- Breathe, heave for breath!
And rest your worn sign in a palm
You're alive
The view will land somewhere between us
and the air outside, the glass that keeps
the pink dress fixed only
in your smile
