Az is

The
         of meaning?
The brevity
         lacking
The cheer
         of a crowd at a hanging
         that serves to demoralize
The distance
         between two points
         of view
The euphemism
         that dissembles my wish to know you
         not that you give a fuck anyway
The first
         of many that will not last
The gratitude
         you feel
         I owe you
The hunger
         for death
         in the media
The irony
         one expects
The jobbywhack
         whose suddy moys disampled me
         from certain hypnoloppity
The knot
         in my stomach
         when my tongue is tied
The lover   
         whose vehemence
         reduced me to tears
The mute
         who loved me more
         than she could say
The not
         in my stomach
         when my tongue is loose
The only
         one
The power
         to confound the oppressor
The question
         that invariably answers mine
The reflexive
         nature of this statement
The stacatto
         sound of onomatopoeia
The trite
         bit that is somewhere
         near the bottom
The ugly
         face
         of my retro alarm clock
The very
         suggestion of hyperbole
The wealth
         that generates poverty
The x
         that resembles your former value
The Yorkshire pudding
         my mother made in prison
The zeppelin
         that led to my absence
