tears like paper, and these issues of woe.

i sat on my bed and watched tv.
time went on, and something in me cracked up.

as if i was bashed in with a hammer,
or pricked by a needle,
or slapped by a friend.

the pain was shapeless, meaningless,
deptless, and effectively confounding.

my heart burst like blooming flowers.
a small rip,
some tears.

then time walked on,
and i sat there with the tv switched on.
