    I am a tainted wether of the flock,
    Meetest for death; the weakest kind of fruit
    Drops earliest to the ground, and so let me.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Now it is time to call attention
    to our bed, a forest of skin
    where seeds burst like bullets.

    a shoe box. We are in a blood box.
