to you they came with teeth clenched  and eyes unseeing
yesterday's truth died at the end of  morning


to you they came searching shadows under the sheets
infinity is the same man crossing the same street


drowning in sand lost out at sea
the surf of dreams the surge of memory


they killed themselves with cameras and revolvers
you killed yourself with minutes and with hours
