lean into an adjacent trajectory dignify the sentimentality, amok and unframeable, filter out the absensitivity, another turn of the eddy, the turnip, the ketchup, the right side of my face, a twitch rambles from the top eyelid, alongside, caressing the right nostril and pulling up, diligently, un- ceasing, are we? it always happens. this rhythm feels imported, and it's always been right here × work that mandible, chum, chew away there's a slip in your eyesight now, it's all blurry because nothing ever stops moving, so you're seeing it as it really is × FOUR LONG PLATES SPREAD OVER WITH PEAS MISTER WALKS ACROSS THE ROOM AND FLOOR TREMBLES, BALLOON BOBS BELOW BABY'S OPEN FINGERS, WAVEY, INNOCENT, NOT YET CASTIGATED, YON ACCUMULATION, CLUMPS OF NERVES, AN ANXIOUS WIND, ROWS OF FLOWERS OR A ROSE THAT FLOWS? so finally, an open wound, give in to that destiny, a litany of inevitable twitching the levy busted open before you could even feel the air rush forward, too much to breathe, is it ever possible? will I ever know about it all, I mean, other than what I've wanted to believe? A flesh slab fixed into the sand yearning yes for permanence like «kitac» authentic beauty that is captured and flung into, blanketed over a patched eyelid, a careless caress, symp- toms all of them such as psychosomatic instances, gravel crumbling under cold- blooded claws, I appreciate this moment of pleasantry very much thanks! BESIDES THIS RECENT HABIT OF WEARING PANTS AS IF THEY ARE FALLING OFF AT ANY MOMENT I KEPT EX- PRESSING MYSELF, I SAY, IN THIS DREAMED LANGUAGE THAT FLUID LIKE A BRICK IS ETHEREAL MOVES AND DOESN'T LIKE AS A RIVER SHOVED THROUGH A SPRINK- LER OR IS THAT A VAPORIZER MAYBE THE STEAM EX- PELLED FROM A PRESSURE COOKER RUSHING OUT NOT EXACTLY WANTING SO MUCH SPACE ALL AT ONCE YET FLUNG OUT AND GRINNING WIDE AYE THAT IS THE TASTE to peel off age is inconceivable and so stumble we will agree, get righteous, remain polite beehive an irregular beat regulates my bedtime, staples scattered across the floor, a ritual of stretched necks satisfying pops and soreness smothered in between bones ×
