| My heart pumps yet the poison draught of you. | It seems unpleasantly refined to put things off till someone knows. | You don't want madhouse and the whole thing there. | Slowly the poison the whole blood stream fills. It is not the effort nor the failure tires. The waste remains, the waste remains and kills. | Law makes long spokes of the short stakes of men. | Waiting for the end, boys, waiting for the end. | The heart of standing is you cannot fly. |
