So (what) are we

So are we

leaves rustling beneath feet and

getting along with grass and with

worms that break through

the soil

and

So are we

stains on a shirt from coffee

some morning.      Sealed eyes

bricked lips and     breath

like thunder

and

So are we

3 a.m. quiz on telly

    on     mute

while the big  belly

sags on the

couch.   and    breath

like thunder

every breath    is   like thunder

and so

were we

the bricks that

got thrown at trains.
