Within an inch of your life

To make something new exist just move faster or slower than everything that already exists.  Childhood: it rained.  Childhood: I stayed in bed playing Spot the Similarities with unrelated photographs.  The man without legs held out a rose he was selling as though roses were manufactured from his legs.

Why did you bring me to an empty restaurant she says he says I built it for you.  "I can be interested only in things I cannot invent" (Valery).  The handle of the cart is not strictly speaking curved but is worn down by hand enough to be curved.  One way to see what you have written is to read everything else that has been written and, as by sketching air around a table, deduce.

If the excess burns off what is the fire.  The bird hit the windshield and my heart went toward.  I paint bird silhouettes on everything as though everything is clear.

Cause and effect 1: I woke with rain on my face and the bus was there.  The cold woke me.  One said I had been yawning in my sleep.  Cause and effect 2: They realized too late the dunce cap was really a megaphone.  Cameras evolved from accordions.

While we have mastered skywriting we still struggle with wild wolf writing.  Why is this ballet you have brought me to so astonishing she said he said it is because the dancers stay in place as the floor moves up and down in various sections, with varying speed, depending on your eyes.  I have warned myself about such instinctual inversions.  Translation of the scripture in which every word is No.

Lullaby: You wanna close my eyes?

I am projecting here but not myself.  You wanna race my pulse?  She said are any of them real or only all of them.  He said there is this way of running your hand up a stem to make a flower-shape of the leaves in your palm. You can see it for a moment when you open your palm.

Dear qualitative love.  A woman carrying fruit in her head.  One thing we have in common is your prettiness.  It takes a while to warm up, like the ocean.  Dawn: I find your image in the developing room.  Paralyzed from the look down.

The ground is right where I left it.  The mannequin is a flotation device, like your breasts are when I am holding them over the water.  As we speak, mobile phones are evolving to be cameras.  Instead of calls we will exchange images, as at the advent.  A woman undressing with eyes turned to the window as though to confer.  Camera held to the mouth.
