Everything at Once

Swans

I'll cut up my time into two separate pieces.
In one place, I'm someone I don't know.
In the second place I don't remember my name.
I'll maintain control: I'll imitate you perfectly.
Now nothing's there: you win.
My flesh hangs loose on my bones,
I'm old, I'm poisoned.
I feel everything at once.
Now throw me out the window.
Watch me fall.
I'll try to remember if I've ever been here before.
I can't remember.
I'll imitate everything around me perfectly.
Time will always win.
It's poison.
I've never loved you.
I was never here.
I remember what it felt like to take a deep breath, then exhale, then forget
What I had just done.
I was never here.
I'll imitate everything around me.
Perfectly.
