That Is The Script They Hand You

that is the script they hand you
but this is the one you use
please keep in mind

this distinction whenever you are

gazing over yet another precipice-

watch whose words are streaming from your mouth

when your crenellated soul is
so in danger of being

ironed out permanently

that flag is the color of snow

raised in a milky sky
you can't salute

what you don't see:

be careful
