terror
you wake up
to a dream of
chomping into a
sandwich minutes
before going
on stage and
not a tooth
but a chunck of
your jowl comes
out with it
louder than
pipes that
clank and clang
a warning
that something
worse than
you want to
nkow is happen
ing a road
sign to what
could be ahead
like biopsies
