The Invisible Knapper

you waste time by sitting down, this is not love

severe all the connections, which hold you back

the straws in your mouth and the wires to your head

the eyes in your sockets, how they glisten and glow

and are uselessly turning, like the wheels of a car

 

you waste time by standing up, this is not love

sit on a pillow, lie down on the floor but don’t be horizontal

don’t lean against anything, don’t lean into 

anyone else’s arms or legs or hair or skin or lips or teeth

you waste time by sleeping, this is not love

don’t sleep on your back, don’t sleep on your stomach

don’t sleep on your side, don’t sleep on your knees

don’t sleep on the sheets, don’t sleep in the bed

 

you waste time by eating and drinking, this is not love
