I am not charity.
I am the domino
after the block of cheese
behind the smoking gun
near the skull with marbles for eyes
to the left of the running, running gerbil
above the now-empty shark tank
in front of the tipping fishbowl
astride another domino
and another below
and another
I am one of domino
in a Rube Goldberg nightmare where nothing ever begins
or ends.
