Nothing about me
is worth the hurt...

a stone
alone tried to poke...

Understand
You can't see...

Privileged as I was to pass through the country
on a slick set of foreign rubber...

was there ever a way
to mend the severance...

Hope is misplaced faith that
your heart will continue...

If I could somehow be just
a little less harmful...

I accidentally severed several
separate loose stitches...

Shifting the ailing Earth
Roots sift the dirt deep...

So sore I
can't handle a toothache...

In my town,
a notorious philosopher...

I remember you
bandaged...
