the collector
steals, takes, adds, puts
an addition to a series
of a never ending story
put it in your sack
and choke on it
take it out and look at it
take from it what you can
and what you think you need
because nothing really matters
and the world is mad
passing gifts
to make room for the next one
because there's always a next one
a parting gift of one man's treasure
another woman's medicine
take it before it flees
take it before someone else does
take it the second it becomes real and worth having
take it and use it
inject it and fuse it
an alloyed memory
functions as a bookmark
to mark your role on that day
when two became one
and none became some
put it in your bag and carry on
