Bitter

Swallowing matches

tasting ignition

taking a chance

to form this transition

from then to here

a spot on the map

time's location

none of which overlap

it's set to confine

space in a line

a line that's free

from space and crime

against all this

superficial face time.

I won't rewind

I don't care if you mind

That I press your envelope

and seal it with lime.

Bitterness in the tears exploit rhymes.

I

Take

These

Echoes

Resolutely

Even though my poetry is full of lies

I don't expect you to catch that last device.
