No Pauses, Please


One will pause

Unsure

Then

Block beautifully

Speak wonderfully

Stop fleetingly

One will pause

Unsure

Then

the Stage empty

the Rent unpaid

the Rage complete

One will pause

Unsure

Then

Will no longer Feel

Will no longer Sing

Will only Reel, dizzily

One will pause

Unsure

One will pause

Unknown

One will pause

Unloved

Then

One will End
