step aside leave space to erase self there is a shelf and there is dust but the rust on the shoes will kick up blues like no other like a mother and a threadbare share of sense the fashion released in suits resolved backward like an unarmed man a clan with no alma mater let us pledge ourselves to indifference to the microwave let us save yourself from myself when my fingers type what i should have meant to have thought to say when no way i can let the syllables slip from lips frozen into sullen confusion the illusion of a reason indiscreetly hidden while unbidden slumps strike between the shoulder blades and fade some enchanted evening back from the brink ready to rethink the recipes the stress tests and how to fail the books and how to look past faces and see text i would like to serve better i would like to receive better and the sleeved letters of your record-breaking endeavors all say congratulations i had meant to tell you i had tried to sell you all the books from my shelf i had tried to save myself i am sorry again i would like to rephrase this afternoon setting the netting letting in all the mosquitoes and the bites add up like soupy cups of dinner that can not figure out any sort of menu a can-do scenario with a so-what attitude i would like to remove myself from this space and out into otherspace although it may be somewhat chilly and the conversation may leave something to be desired i have fired myself from the position and under the care of a self-named physician i will continue in this replacement mission having missed the prime directive or removed it in elective surgery thought to be to cure something more ill less well but to tell the truth there is no use for stalling when the calling's all the birds
