step by step
goes only so far
you fall
and it's over
you get back up
ask nothing
maybe no one noticed
apologize
to god
lower your gaze
avoid eye contact
if they see you
they'll know
you've fallen
again
down so low
in a world so high
laughs and spins
outlasts
like a boy
waiting to play ball
after the rain
like a boyhood
that came and went
eat
sleep
drink
again and again
days go by
falling
further and further away
from the point
closer and closer
to the life of your father
again and again
until the point is lost
altogether
