I

When you close your eyes,

when you wish to sigh,

when you wish to lie,

when you wish to die,

do not look at I.

Where did you get that thought?

Where did you get that taught?

Where did you do that, bought?

Where did you say you fraught?

Do not look at me, I rot.

Why do you say those things?

Why do you do those dreams?

Why do you get those teams?

Why do you see that steam?

Do not look at me, I'm mean.

How do you say "thank you?"

How do you fill the blanks?

How do you see those tanks?

How do you build those banks?

Do not look at me, I run on empty.

K.A.P.
