I thought you were

A flower

You thought you were

A shadow

I thought you were

A diamond

You thought you were

A coal chute

I thought you were

A dancer

You thought you were

A Found Poem From Roger Ebert


(1) You clean and clean, but there’s still blood all over the place; (2) You know you have committed a murder, but you are not sure quite how or why; (3) You know you have forgotten a small detail that will eventually get you into a lot of trouble…

Breached

The flood

Comes

Out


Regally

She

Surrenders…


And

Rules again
