Almost time for a br Reason spoken to br Midnight br Of men with br Their hands in br The air— br Whose time is br Up— br The dyslexic haunts br Of fire flies br Outside the br Grottos of br The housewife's br Kitchens— br Better words I br Don't know to br Save myself— br I can only remember br The diminutive ferris wheels br Of my prepubescent existence— br And the time we launched a br Thousand ships only to find br That nothing happened.
