A stranger waved at you and something seemed to go terribly wrong somewhere under my mind.<\/p>

The things I haven’t done caught up with me all at once.<\/p>

Going in, I remembered; some time ago, at the end of an empty era, I thought I might strangle myself just to see if anything would happen. Maybe at the last moment, you would walk through the door.<\/p>

But the only door was locked and barricaded and a stranger was looking to bash it in, instead. I bled on her chest at the foot of the bed;<\/p>

an antique hope from dead.<\/p>

Now, then, I was sure<\/p>

it would happen again.<\/p>

here I now lie then<\/p>

at the now very last second
from elsewhere
of all places
I caught a stray.<\/p>
