stay on this way
and I say
what way?
And they say stay on the way you
are anyway straying along
with your words open wide
and your eyes confirming
your words’ illusions.
Oh, I see, I say:
continue with confusions,
undermine my institutions,
nurse (not nurse) contusions,
et my ceteras.
Precisely, they chime imprecisely,
Ambiguous and – perhaps – slightly –
off-key.
And they turn time sideways and say
A day is a more than as well as an only a day.
