Trying to figure out what’s going on, but
it’s hard to think when the world’s crumbling

Fritz Hamilton

Trying to figure out what’s going on, but
it’s hard to think when the world’s crumbling, &
the crumbs are falling onto my head, &

then the crumbs are burying me, & they’re
over my eyes & nose/ it makes me anxious like
a rat trapped beneath water in a sewer/ I

need more sewers/ I have a taste for the
water, & I feel comfortable with rats nibbling
my toes/ a toenail caught in a rat’s throat, &

the crumbs are graham crackers, & the sewerage is
sour milk/ if I had it to do over, I’d kill myself when
the graham cracker & milk ran out, then

I wouldn’t have to wash the dish/ I could leave
it to the discretion of the next rat . . .
