999 Z61

got a bathtub full of gin
and push pins
what life was given?
what was the answer that was needed?

I did my best
I have a jaw
teeth
and
gums
I tried to use them

I coughed up dust and wood chips

tried to be honest

opened my sleeves
poured out the sand

ears rang
hot and cold

hot and cold

Didn’t explain
didn’t have a chance

more of the same

could have been better
I didn’t speak

didn’t explain
