7 To W. Nobody would care if my body becomes a crumpled Scrap of paper, my legs and arms crippled by creases, cramped Till they rip, wrinkles cracking not only my face -- my bones, My eyes rippled, with any image distorted -- A scrap of paper Smashed beneath the loaded lead of words, With letters disrupted, Tortured, And reconnected in gibberish. Nobody would care. Nobody. But you.
