I'm going to imagine all this, how


I'm going to imagine all this, how
the head has gone in several different directions
none of which arrive anywhere
            other than here

I think I know your demons, they are
my demons too, I think
I know how the song goes but play it for me
one last time    anyway
and pour me whatever you've got, some
I think I know
            I am lacking grace
substantial

I'm going to imagine all this, how
I cannot blithely go and I cannot
            cannot stay

stay please sadness stay gumption stay possibilities stay
            mad

because I'm not going to imagine all this

because I was furious
because I was curious
how I'm not going

because
            I rearrange the furniture again
