armless hopes

abandoned on the road to death
because everyone else goes to much more beautiful places
because i just sit and listen to piano music
from someone else's hard times

this is a sad can of beans--
i taste blood on the lid
it takes everything with it
as if beginning to speak
in some instant that never arrives

i kill it with wanting
a whole day of giving others back messages
listening to what the machine does
when nobody's watching
