Day 27

e and e

for Edward Elstin Cummings

If I tell them who I am, well,

they will start calling me Ed Jr.

I have found it much more beneficial to not be me

I am not me, just an e and an e.


I lost Nancy


that way
being the fighter
I am
not
the fool who hides behind


the silliness.


My face is now a softened stone

I am ashes
but not

no

Not alone.

But how can ashes sleep
beside her
beside.
beside.
besides
If I tell them who I am, well,

they all know me as Ed Jr.

or I could be
simultaneously
perpetually me,

just an
e and
an e.
