Palinode 22.5

we do speak too much                    too much hello

muffled air                     vents

WANT to pick up stuff walk out WANT to be outside hating outside

DAY SIX SAY

:

Take us apart.  Us from our bodies.  Us, our bodies.


I try not to {pause} you people.


Your muscles are suddenly there.


where the place is /or/ where the place is

I don’t care, we are coeval & endure the same seam.

Those are the corners and those are
the chairs that go in the corners I don’t
wait for them I am bored by them why
are there so many why do they flock like stupid birds

You think You know what You look like

Then tell me

Or god

Please flood it all again

Tell them what I see ahead:

We are only buying

It is all we do

We are making munching sounds

Coins in pockets--

Buy it, be it yours trade it like an ivory horn, sound it, your silly oliphant.

We are happy over here.
