Too late 
                   even the moth holes 
             were ruined only ruin 
       let us cross the street 
   & be human if only 
through the morning but      scrambled eggs with 
a morning isn't the best                chopped up 
             form of                         onion & tomato 
          resistance                       Small coffee 
       Afternoon                                         to go 
  is the will to go on      A space 
broken                                at the table 
into bite sized                        for plates & 
  morsels & left                  slouching 
       uneaten                   posture  
             Sunk head 
     in otherwise 
waxy hands &      Neither is 
sobbing                           a cop's 
isn't the best form of      instruction on 
resistance nor                        the 
pedestrian                       method of holding 
  votive                       candles without splashing 
       invocations         on the mass of wrinkles 
                             I move through the city
