that drop stop
gravitates to 
the heart of it
finds imperfectability
the potential for
loss and
loose anger

all you 
realized was
stopping in
still
makes that
still become
a happen

and if we dig
along cracks we
will move it
fill in
the gaps get
abundant
get oblong and
fourth-like

but the stop is
sent to the side
of vacant 
handrail
sinkings

settling 
is as a question 
of erased decisions
these differ
from the move-to
as simplicity of
choice

I decide
in interrogation
with a presence 
and a pale eye
because this 
hesitation now 
is for resistance 
to both

fraudulence and
casual
boredom by arrangement

it was at
hesitation
at persistence
where I met
hot temper tears
carrying reflections
of the 
paper patchwork
I am wrapped in

blankets on blankets
dragging authenticity
in dust

bring yourself
here child
lets cross those
columns out
