January 24, 2021-

I am not looking to seduce a wearer of Birkenstocks.
Is it possible, then, to break whole armies with one small grain of sugar?
Make a moving announcement every time you die.
So long as you long you idolize longing.
Pain always produces logic, which is very bad for you.
I pull threads from the crimson cloud and weave my undergarments and/twist my fat fattened body.
Raucous black sky, why did you swallow/ my proof?
Sometimes—there's God—so quickly!
