if today I choose to put an end to
all but three words, I will keep dream
because the only people I’m ever with are in
my dreams — we are busy beavers with real lives
we talk & touch each other in our dreaming world
& I will keep children, plural, so they can be together
afraid & unafraid, because they still have a chance
if the world decides to keep them, & the third word
I've yet to choose, though in thinking about it
I’m ending ever so many words, for example, hero
& good & bad & order & law & before & after & pain
oh, there it is, I found it, the third word is river
because so much must exist for there to be rivers
& rivers run
