THE ADDITION OF SUBTRACTION


Each day adds
to your diminution
of the life
(of your life!)
outside
of you.

It's nothing to get hung up about;
it's just flakes of dead dry skin
carpeting your next step.

O, yeah, one other thing.
if ya think too long about it
you feel like shit
trying to race down
a fly-papered tube.
