By The Book Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

By the book

To my knees in these graves
I think that I’m walking
But am I?

Those around are the dead
Mesmerized like the rocks
Chameleons in the sun

Take me out
Take me out
Take me out

Either deep
Or too high
To the Mars

What’s it called?

Take me out
Take me out
Take me out

I am dead so are they
We actors are foolish
As if alive, as if alive, as if alive

We are fools
We are mad
Crazy,
Believe me

All of us
You & I
