me.Feel(emotions.sad);

Stuck into the snow

Matchsticks and whistling dust

While (the dawn) break;s

Against the thought of a younger

Let younger = stronger

Let stronger = weaker

Let weaker = younger

And go to matchsticks

Go to the closing

Whimper

Whistle

Whittle

Two broken glasses at closing time

One napkin left balling in tupperware

Demonstrate that person is equivalent to no person

And there will be no audience left to witness

Stuck into matte hair, gum hair, pulled at the scalp

Flickers of dandruff, like fireflies, like small stars against black sheets

Do keep running fingerpads over the back of knuckles

Keep whittling

int * x = malloc(sizeof(int));

sleep(x);

free(x);
