no more no less

no more no less

front drift

back drift

side drifts

no drifts

i stand moments

from reality's

slap

KABOOM!

did not ask 

no mystery lives here

there was for certain

reason plural 

i am 

left 

in cold driving

rain

thriving enjoying stinging 

exposed skin more than

rosy red

hurtful needling 

distraction no

a ruse a grift

pain is blindingly

insulting

from 1 to 10

said she

what is your 

pain level

turn off the brights

i am already

racking

with deep wound

i am shutting down

life is fleeting

i am numb

feeling nada

no back drift 

no side drift

no drift

there or here

i have 

emptied pockets

no nickel no dime

no quarter

i deserve

no quarter

no more

no less
