			chewed
			grave]-----------------------------my favorite jeans
			                                                                     
			                      I still keep, ripped
			an old
			man-----------------------[detritus                                           
			by a bloody knee 
			words like concrete dust
			slinks back                           
			a stagnant
			puddle]----------------------remind me
 
			                                                                                   
			       of the four boys
			                                                                       
			                   who jumped naked
			                                
			a dead june beetle                
			          from Springfield bridge
			Ψ’s
			tears----------------------[over turned                               
			            June 3rd, 1994
			wouldn’t fall, like
			they were oil                          
			bottle caps with
			rusted teeth
			
			                                 
			a string of cellophane]------------------only
			one
			                                                                    
			                      fished
			out
			two
			faces]------------------------a pen cap                                          
			his
			jaw bone
			piled together                                                                         
			        lost with the rest
			in the exhausted world            
			
			                                 
			two coins, one
			unknown]--------------and a silent moment 
			                                 
			one
			a penny                                        
			for
			this lost life
			                                                                                             
			another
			for the next
			                                                                                             
			soon
			the whole world
			                                                                                             
			will
			be muted
			
			
			                                 
			the final part:                                      
			
			                                 
			insides of a wind up watch                  
			
			                                 
			each gear locked by age
