The coma,
The summons,
The time and the tremors,
The waking,
The damaging,
The steadily medicating,
The wreck and recriminating,
The talk of the mitigating,
The word and the breaking,
Forever,
The running.
Forever the running.
They finalize the severance,
Administer the breathalyzer,
Authorize a visitation,
Penalize: probation.
The drugging,
The drinking,
The sex and the sleeping,
The laughing,
The loving,
Forever, the nothing.
