surface
and the volley continued
   until there was nothing left 
       but echo.

no, these are not my real legs.
yes, you have every right

no, i did not lose the archive.
yes, the fever is approaching,
        the lawn is turning grey.

and yes, i used to be a uniform.
way before animal rights and stereo compression.
       
        the fever is fading.
the wandering whisper undoubted
feels for a watch in the dark.

no, i do not feed the geese.
it's your turn to wake up screaming.
