Fossil, Snorkle, and Cold Blood
To express the self we escaped the self, or made
statements of natural law via particular tastes:
it is immoral for a hedgehog to not be tossed by a dog
or impressions beginning the way as though undressing
given questions; I wanted to write fauna impossibly
tender and necessary as a column of newsprint, or the way
one deduced yesterday must have been sunned by
an unmanning fatigue as of swimming, yet no matter where
I went the space I encompassed was finished as the surfaces of my palms
any direction they were heading; we remain unabridged,
the stage coach creates the coast, stars have no elongation
outside of day, or a pill at the bottom of a glass I swallowed like clockwork:
the fact is I was chilled from the outside, holding a lizard like a scripture of mirror.
