ACCOUNT OF MY DAYS
Sequence: 4
MY INQUIRY
do you piss first thing when you get up
do you walk down some stairs
do you have something stuck in your head
do you argue with yourself
worth it or not
do you smile
as if nothing mattered or
as if something mattered
is this what you do?
do you approach
do you keep your distance
do you try to always bear in mind a distinction
between the actual and the metaphorical fire
do you feel reverence for both
and fear
do you respect the marks of fire found on others
is this what you do?
do you come home moody and thoughtful
do you sprawl on the couch
and if you do what is there
before you actually before you
and what is before your mind only
to ease or trouble it
do you examine it all
and do you recall me along with the others
is this what you do?
