tailing the snark

                                  this is the truth sentence

                       maintained through galaxies:

                                                   tears don't have to make it

                                                   out of the eyes.

                                                the following sentence is

                          proceeded by the first:

                                 forgotten, then downtrodden

                                 because he blinked his eyes

                                                 too much.

                                                                            i couldn't cry twice

                                                                            or think a single

                                                                            glass of water

                                                                            could light up the world.

                                                            it wasn't chosen by or for me

                                                            at all.

                                                            only drawn to an energy

                                                            pattern

                                                            flowing invisibly beneath the

                                                            surface.

                                some believe these streams

                                can be entered.

                                                            trying to look like a real

                                                            tree.
