every word ever whispered
into every ear that's ever existed
in every universe
has served the same purpose
and served the tables
of beggars keeping their word
and requesting bread
in a feverish and anxious manner
i alone have unsettled the west
kicked all the living bodies out
and unearthed the corpses
for decoration

i have traveled
head-over-heels
for cliches about love
i have washed and washed
each hand i've been given
bitten them
and then, thankful for the bite
bitten them since they were
in fact, the hands that fed me
previously
in an early piece of this series
i was the hero
but i have since
turned on all my friends
and i will soon
turn on every light in my house
