You’ve been waiting a long time for someone to come and release you
from that fish hook cast in your mouth.
As I hurt for you
and mourn my way
    through non-tragedies for you
and wait with an anticipatory eye
    that makes everything premature.
For you
we eat crackers
and I wonder what is    it like
to have blood and steel and sea fill your mouth,
and don’t you want to taste something
other than metallic.
We eat crackers and I wonder
what is it like
until I wonder
what is it not like. 
All the sameness in saneness in saying this.
