โlike Ashboy and Cinderella the trickster is a mediatorโ -Introduction to Mythology textbook
Ashboy and Cindrella. the most abovementioned
of them all. atonal SIEMPRE, NADA and TODO
sans some sense certainty. Echo of the military
alphabet. violence waiting on yesterdays. singing
last year's distinct and one-at-a-time sitting all
warm and petite. plotting the rest-of-our-lives
for myself and the apparition of some true blue
interlude. its โSurplusโ pleasure. its just congealed.
my lips touch the text I read. river in the country
and the currency of tightest citizenship. no no this
time a volunteer FOR the audience. a river in the
country. bi-vocal red in every stripe. against the brutalist
Grey/Blue of the โBureauโ. A slowly walks over
to B. Bโs actions are outlined in COURIER font.
afterwards memories. ten arms. a rained-on tarp
on sand. and sure Xerxes -who shares my
etymology- lashed the Hellespont. but it was no
great metaphor. for anything really. a kind
customer. what a mitzvah! in loveโs fatal facility
on the beloved balcony of light. arms wide as
the Guernica. Voulez-Vous-Couchez boxed in
an armoire. moved mid-February to Kensington.
first-ape in imitation. and the separation of every
intelligence into individual acts. easily produced.
me too! my complex repetition. my persimmons
and slobber. hunger rang my bell too. thirst taught
me. nerve-stem butter in the eye shelf. shelled and
cracked cornea. and the belly of the beast wasโฆ
wellโฆ ALL ME??? a husk in the maize and unique
under threat of infinite numbers. in pools of infinitude
the butcher kills the pig. vertigo. high and upright.
steps down into the building. natal blood of the dark
theatre. pig blood pudding. relative to regional cuisine.
dice and eventual movement. the appleโs pursuit
for a full breakfast or a Hatchbackโs lights piercing
the surface of the lake from below. my breath
inflates my structure. dashes me across the drowning
car. on the silver screen the woman and the inference
of her discomfort somehow makes a CLICHร
of sexual assault.
