Another fragment...

The pieces of this piece

Let the words breathe
Their way onto the page

This way
No one gets hurt
That isn't already broken

See the simulacra scene
Projected in second hand screenings
of second hand stores'
second handed copies

Seconds ticking away
Seconds at a time
No firsts within them
But lasts in every one

Catch no glimpse of heaven
With eyes upon the scene
of all these things they've seen

They don't look for heaven here
The eyes find other things
See in them reflecting
on the various
hells
or circus
acts
All the abnormal things
Or the normal
Sub-standard/Standard
things

It's not polite to stare
It's impolite to turn away
It's expected that you notice
But not mention what you see

So don't say a word
Just breath
in and out
Try to look past it
as if it's both there and not

That way nothing
gets hurt
But what's already broken
No sobbing seen
No seeing scene

Just breath the words
onto the page
So they won't be heard

No one gets hurt
No one gets well
Nothing changes
Except whatever does
But that isn't for anyone to say
And if they do...
Shame
shame
(same)

Just breath the words onto the page
Despite how they might read
So no one gets hurt
That isn't already broken
So nothing breaks
But what's already shattered

The pieces of this piece
Breaking
down, away, or through
The pieces of each piece
left fully up to you
