I’ve filled myself in the wrong way,
Like a failed crossword puzzle –
Let me start over.
Tell me, why should I care about should?
And why would I care about would?
I honestly don’t, and never did –
Maybe I, perhaps with some prompting,
Have just convinced myself that I do.
Can I retire from language and from sight?
I’d like to just be again.
