feel how soft is the face

and by and by how hard it becomes

you cannot break it you cannot bear to see it

better to let it alone eat dry toast with good wine

and by and by how late it is

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Wednesday 10 February 1669.

Dave Bonta

Learn by heart: tap a gap

how hard it
you break it
