Breath
departs, your skin - leather
now,
enthroned the Burger King
touched
but unmarked cold, unnamed a
waxen
crown adorns your disheveled brow.
Pants
down no longer there to catch
matter's
barrier you have breached
turds
floating in ceramic bowl
long
immobile fingers fidget not
curling
sleeping dreams never seen.
Secret's
out, your soul no where unless
caught
between bathroom tile while
uncircumcision's
smile upside down
doubt
this is how or where you
expected
to ground if suspected at all
your
inevitable as are all the passings.
No
one here worried if underwear are
spotless
or stained, clean your nails aren't
but
mute points, workers wonder without
expression
how your carcass can be
removed
without losing or customers
losing
lunch boys with paper hats would
have
to clean from spotless floors.
Now
dead and unspoken your
exposed
buns no longer waiting will
be
wrapped as time has ordered you
"to
go."
