i still cannot calculate

i still cannot calculate
the time of death when there is
an ocean between us. what
does it mean when i ask
when? and you say five
in the morning. with time
no longer on anyone’s
side, a formulaic procedure
may not be such a crime
after all. tell me
you understand and can
take over because
i cannot read x from y –
there is something
in my eye
.
