Wants v. Want

The fairest thing is the most righteous, the best thing health, and the sweetest to have our heart's desire.
- Theognis of Megara (255-256)

Suspended
Saints and false gods
Supported by
Wants senseless
Balance
And the rest here
On the edge of a razor
To dry
Words
I have stretched now
E mai you?

Do not feel that
I tremble as part
Hide
This stupid fun
When you look at me

Do not feel that
I tremble as part
? the sign
That of a summer
I could go on forever

In the balance
I wish for all my
I do not hear more?
Wants quell'insensata
Balance
That leaves me here
On the edge of a razor

Somersaults
Which in mid-air
Ever make?

Do not feel that
I tremble as part
Hide
This stupid fun
When you look at me

Do not feel that
I tremble as part
? the sign
That of a summer
I could go on forever

In the balance
From Saints
Do not pay
And much time
Past is past
As you know
And yet poised
Time goes by and you'll never

Hide
This stupid fun
When you look at me

Do not feel that
I tremble as part
? the sign
That of a summer
I could go on forever!
