To think a thought
I is tough when
it sings
Better than violanse
it is a quick as
A loss of a child
We don't think
that way,
-we don't sway,
we are just day
today

This page treats thought as something sung, sudden, and painful, linking mental movement to loss rather than calm reflection.
What gives the page force is the way it keeps sliding between abstraction and wound. A thought is not neutral here; it sings, strikes quickly, and arrives with the scale of a child's loss. The closing turn away from thinking and swaying toward merely being 'day / today' feels like a stripped-down survival posture.
