She’s going to
cry
but don’t ask any questions
Stop and stay
or go
away
just go away
Warm air and cold
feet
the old man’s bones are creaking
What did you
say
about life
going on?
Wipe your fingers on
your shirt
clean the stains from your hands
Drink some
water
have an aspirin
try again
Someone is screaming
but the door slams closed
Run up the stairs
and open
the window
it can be done
Are you all right?
I don’t know
What do you need?
They don’t bother
me
but that’s not true
Wipe your fingers on
your shirt
clean the stains from your hands
Drink some
water
have an aspirin
try again
