MAD DASH

So far haven't left for being left so far from having haven't left yet and yet have left out additional features of what's left to leave out and haven't done that yet.  Left around for another round and around or what was palms against wood rubbing and twisting around left around for another round and around or what was palms against wood or against something rubbing and twisting around or's and and's or and/or or's or and's/or's so far from having haven't left yet and yet have left out additional features of what's left to leave out and haven't done that yet, you have no idea and either you or they or someone else has and hasn't or hasn't any and/or no idea neither.


Drifting off onto the dirt shoulder dirty shoulders through the shirt to the back of the neck into the hair of the head laid down on the dock next to the rowboat listening to the oars slip out into the water like a swallowing of some kind of gagging of the lake or pond these days just days only just days from now for being left so far from having haven't left yet and yet have left out additional features of what's left to leave out and haven't done that yet.  Left around for another round and around or what was palms against wood head laid down on the wood of the dock once palms fold into the pockets shallow pockets of a rasping coat covering lungs left around for another round and around or what was palms against wood head laid down on the wood of the dock once palms fold into pockets shallow pockets of a rasping coat covering lungs shallow lungs emptied by what comes after clouds smudged with what hasn't been left out yet for drifting off onto the dirt.


Drifting off to nodding off not off even then or onto anything or a drift as in how it can't be managed and it can't manage it with any increase in speed or urgency no urgency anymore these days just days only just days plundered and not off even then or onto anything or a drift as in how it can't be managed with what's left so far for being left so far from having haven't left yet and yet have left out additional features of what's left to leave out and haven't done that yet and yet drifting off onto the dirt getting away it's getting away the and the or slipping away drifting off onto the dirt breaking down lying down palms folding into pockets shallow pockets of a rasping coat covering lungs shallow lungs emptied from throwing being thrown lying down head on the wooden dock next to the rowboat listening to the oars slip out into the water like a swallowing of some kind of gagging of the lake or pond these days just days only just days emptied from throwing being thrown trying the vain insistence on trying when no one else tells with their wooden sayings and haven't left yet still around for another round slipping out into the water like a swallowing of some kind of gagging from being thrown trying the vain insistence on trying when no one else tells with their wooden sayings and haven't left yet still around still thrown by them trying to throw the ball towards the arms lowering slipping out into the water like a swallowing of some kind of gagging throwing up spitting up what has been thrown up ball head slipping.
