what pacifying thoughts

what pacifying thoughts cricket and bookend your days?
i can mimic the smoothness of rocks licked flawless by mouthing waters -
it takes little effort when you know your race and pit crew,
but fleshes are more expensive day by day.
i lack the patience most mothers have, getting itchy for conclusions quickly;
fear is an industry in my country - what better candidate consumer than i?
lie your head by my body, if only to confirm my pulse and beating heart before it drifts
off to death-land, to the places where people give up.
