Drive the death-dealing system
Out!
Out!
Out!
Deprive the breath-stealing system
Out!
Out!
Out!
Survive the flesh-eating system
Out!
Out!
Out!

rain rain
come again 
don’t come
back til 
the very 
next day

there
something 
about 
you is nice
but i try not to dwell
on it too much 
on account of 
my habit
perpetual 
response 
ability 

i carry your perfume
like a torch for you
what is done is done
but i refuse to let 
your flowers to leave
violets are forever 
in bloom
