14,356. OBLIGATIONS TARRY

OBLIGATIONS TARRY
I'm on overload, I can't move
and I can't run. My back is 
against the wall, my hands
are tied. I'm stuck in place,
unable to function; lost in a
space of an extreme unction.
In fact, I may die any minute.
-
Watching the cars in town:
people driving to work, or
from, or around; stopping, 
for gifts or snacks. The guy
in the pharmacy seems really
short, wearing a tall hat to
make up a difference, yet
seeking pills that will
increase his height? He'll 
find out by night if he's
gained an inch? (So much
matters when you're in a
pinch).
-
Those lumber trucks never
fail  -  30-feet trunks of trees
piled heavy, strapped in place
and made mobile. Cut me some
board-feet won't you? I want 
to build an old-time jail.
