xerox

i’m copying you
already. a loneliness
annoyed at a flask
i disappear into the words
you’re hearing
my heart has been asked
to send around faster.
the terms are gone.
can you see me when i stand up
and look around?
some signals
have ladders next to them
is something i won’t be.
i will go into the dark
only if you’re willing to laugh,
a universal staring.
