         Empty   Empty   Empty
         not growing.
         Remembering, not knowing.
         Sad, about what?
         nothing...
         Mad about everything
         no alternative?
         look how the year walks by me
         no focus, who am I?...
         just the space around which
         the identification, Dennis Gallagher, exists
         in whatever form I last left it
         who am I, the one pressing in or out or both?
         what's direction...
            complexity's increase,
            knowledge's gain,
            material's owner?
         empty of even questions
            I exist and see only
            the falling leaves of years
            in the lines of my face
         what do I want
            what can I have?
         what will I do
            what can be done?
         do I have a choice
            am I not one?
