Bouncing (With Creeley)

"the most abstract fucking fact"
"bouncing"

To pick the wrong

Emotion actually

Is
In fact speech

As we are always playing
Now

his palm against

things on the outskirts of 35mm. projection

bottle containing
transparent liquid for instance
water perhaps
meant to be
vodka
