Manifesto

I CUT ACROSS ME: the rage of entanglement.

i cut across bison & salt fleas & areola merchanting
i cut across dustpan & ampersand & gut bacteria

i cut across the concrete where the fishmonger lays his catch
i cut across the metal spoon he uses to degut the carp

i cut across the corpse on the train tracks just off castro
i cut across her stomach and loop around to her nape

Listen.

i. the waves ii. you iii. see iv. let v. in
make a  undress here is an me buy a company
hollow  but not for elephant coffee i find
sound  me my no nothing
like om anymore grandfather let me of subtance
i whirl ; guides my wilt into so i cut
around this is chin until or out of across
ready to why i am backyard empty
meet my the cows oblonged tea until
mother choose into splat she bleeds
to die window hymn like me
