..spent my blood like money

 

and left me to linger

like a beat dog

pacing a length of chain

 

without seeing

I know what you've done

 

your purchase lies

smothered inside

a plastic shopping bag.

Thanks, all..offline for a few days. To tell the truth, most times when I write I couldn't put what I'm thinking into more succinct terms. To see to know to sense is one thing--to verbalize and transfer to others is another.

I can see the many forks of your thinking here (I hope) elP. There is always the fragile construct that hangs in the mind and threatens to disappear. A rare quality . I can visualize a drug fix with all the paraphernalia.
