I’ve found the structure
like a knife —
in the first act of this dumb scenario called my life

so now it’s stuck between my ribs —
and I have to sing

life, you’re so nice.
your dawns,
your roses,
guns,
romances,
chances —

the structure
I keep seeing in the sand

and once again
in the third act —
before I die —
I have to play
