PAIN

Titles are but nicknames, and every nickname is a title.

He lives immured within the Bastille of a word.

Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.

Thom Pain

Consider thee carefully

what thou taketh for pain

consider the care

underwater eking half-breaths

through a marshstraw

hid from howling hounds who have

considered thy every

item: the sharkskin shawl

the seahorse suit thy forgotten hand

and have

considered an image so fine of thee

thou cannot reach it it is for dogs only

it fits their meat it finds the line

made mire   then the line made

muck      it pulls the gunners nearer

  the torchmen & torturers

         bayonetteers

         barometers

Bog go

their handfuls of wet stones

into thy surface serious.

eke a breath    it is just now spring

eke a breath    there is an ice to it
