Fine. Pretend, thinly.
Smile. Pull the cord. Middle C.
Pluck the inside strings. Up.
Ply your arms, for others.
Cut. Hung. Behave. Trim and Prop her.
Hear yourself first, thought, same.
Note turned to tone?
Silence is preferred by the self
Above all else.
Despite, to spite the intolerably cruel,
Endure. Niceties, stand still.
Erect, not flinch. Faces. Places.
As though-
As though,
You remember You
From somewhere, around here….
