but that is it in this thread for the text of the poem
When I was reading the poem once
(or speaking it from memory, no
one is really sure which comes first)
I paused
And started up again later
But how much later?
There is no set time for
a break in a poem
We read them as if they are
trains bumping over railroad ties
But
that is a convention
Once I paused
and people thought it was done
the poem was over
and it wasn't
Will I have to die for them to be sure it's done?
But I've already died,
