To begin is
to end:
the lives lived through others,
the boundaries of love,
the self-graven image,
the magazine body,
the standard-gauge line,
the next logical step,
the leg-irons of the country,
the glister of the city,
the waiting for Death,
the defining of Life,
the stroking of guilt,
and the denial of pride.
To begin is
to print
your own poetic licence
and drive wherever
you damn well please.
