scientist you've been hard at work i know you've been digging the earth for weeks in your front yard have you found the box of bibles i buried there so long ago i can't remember the litanies and are you hoping to have a religious experience and are you hoping to have a crisis of faith in your front yard for all of your neighbours to see your new complicated sexual identity and what are you going to name it?

a conscious hallucination the open eye, so human it is what it is not it is what it is not contagious availability some things are there but you can't see it is what it is not it is what it is not you have got to believe that things can transform

pink 01:24

best mess 02:10
should i undress if i feel powerless i sullied, he slept shit year, best mess ugly, cut-up, killing time a risk, we race toward the light i guess i am doing fine but i miss you all the time i want to let the cat out of the bag

unable 00:34
i was unable to call you when i wanted to call you and tell you happy birthday it was a weird day i was walking with a song you like stuck in my head but only a single part of the song you know the part where she says "it's over" and she says "it's over" over and over and i couldn't help but wonder if it's over

plural 02:10
i am not here like i used to be i'm half-erased perhaps a ghost just pissing aimlessly i am impatient i want to be a snake i want to feel the grass against my skin or on my face i am plural i guess i am two but i say this body is not mine does it belong to you does it belong to you i am trying to do right by us been swimming in this pool so long there's water in my lungs but i am singing, choking, some i arrange a bowl of fruit forget to eat it and feel numb i am plural which i guess means i am two but i say this body is not mine does it belong to you does it belong to you

i am afraid to talk. i make enough material but i haven’t made enough material to make a bed better. i haven’t licked all of the spoons clean yet and i want to go swimming but both of my arms are broken. i draw a map on my body, one line for each time i said: no. it is difficult to follow. i followed it and got lost. sometimes my hands seize up when i am wrestling with a button or a clasp. sometimes when i put my hand on someone else’s hand i become a river and they become a river. sometimes when i am a river and you are a river then i am the kind of river that cries a lot and you are the kind of river that makes fun of me for crying a lot. i put sunscreen on my teeth and ask the only other girl on the beach if she will drown me.

the world didn't end we stayed home, played priapus i felt at peace with my wrong sex hours passed, we lost the time we osculate and we entwine i want to buy you clothes you'll be too ashamed to wear in public so that when you put them on you'll never have to feel homesick don't worry, i like slow talkers don't worry, i like sleep walkers (whatever reverend i'll be on my knees for a while however rivers end i'll be on my knees for a while) let your arms be exposed i bet it will feel nice
