Ax the moment before, let it spin through your eyes
One takes
	A piece of seconds
		bewildering himself looking ahead
		where it happens, nothing else maddens
Ax the moment after, let it let through your legs
Two take
	A piece of minutes
		filtering a breath going below
		where it happens, nothing else flattens
Where I must be, where I must be going.

The siren was thrown in your face,
	Pluck out your ears,
		To save your nose.
The distance between the center of your eyes
	And the tip of your nose
		Is never made to look so close.
You are unable to use both,
	Paralyzed,
		Civilized,
			Hypnotized,
				Never recognized.

I sent the mail a long time ago,
	Did not receive it back until yesterday.
It was opened, read, and re-sealed.

		Traces of tear and blood,
Then I opened it a second time,
	Read it to myself,
		What I wrote to you a long time ago.
"Dear Death,
	I will be ready to go,
		Only when the wind stops to blow."

			to look not so much rico.
Ay...bump off the critics, and pick up the speedo.
