what have I stolen from myself?
here is another one
who won't admit to the theft
we build ourselves in tiers
all of them say I
and exclude the rest
I am on top and starting to wobble
one hand in my pocket
one close to my vest

what is the color of absence?
I have lived so little I am beginning
to think life is just a rumor
you have heard it said
over and over
one liners pointing the finger
as the doors close
absence is the abstinence
of our experience
absence is non-sense
it was here first
and it lasts
