POINTS ON THE GRID

5. All That Is Not
But
I CAN NOT REGRET ANYTHING
I will not walk thru the world
deep in rubber boots. I
can see I can see I can walk
all I want

So bring yourself to me
the clock is talking stop its knock
because I care
to write at this table with the mirror
making pictures in my face
that is my job.

Or dont bring yourself
that is not all right too
that is not my job
I know
that I AM FINISHED THIS NOW
this is where I step my weight
this
is no answer to me
nothing is an answer
you can bring yourself or not
I am going now
out
