A Denial of What Jiminy Cricket Said

The very last shards of life
are slitting the curtains
the furniture is already
wrecked beyond repair.
The corner has been
turned. There's
no more forgiving.
The ones who
are going to continue
have left and
there's no one here but me.
I am babbling
about dreams
when the future part of dreams
is missing. What
Jiminy Cricket said
is no longer true.
