how_is_it
alceda how is it, then,
that i'm told it's all over?
already
i tell it to myself, sometimes -
i guess i'll say it now:
the word fate

how is it, then,
mine's a road
ever-shortening
by the distance
i've covered?

who agglutinate my telomeres
by what i lose
and i've lost and i'm losing
by the wayside,
or maybe, i creep up a dress size,
collecting nicks like nacks
and lines
end-times

it's like it's fate, my novel,
pretold of my fading
of novelty -
this ragwort,
this duckling,
this meadow -
like i've seen it all before
like it's all blather to aether
or aether to blather
forced march to indifference

but excuse me,
forsooth me,
because no,
no, it's not like that at all -
i see more -
i see more, every time -
my shorter road
of riches

what's it to you?
