Distillation a matter 
of feeling *against 
one’s self* to make a 
mark don’t connect 
the dots stars didn’t 
make us we made them 
when we read their 
pretensions of wisdom 
a kind of seduction 
the phatic validates 
the rest is rent and 
money for gas so sings 
complicity always the 
place the emotion 
of being among so many 
makes one get over 
themself the things 
we are not for their own 
sake this room large 
and ever ambivalent
I was with her deixis 
a tale of survival 
the survival of her 
milk is memory wood 
darkening that shade 
no longer human with 
witness you begin to 
cry something will eat
the cancer that idea 
must not get cut-out 
you are here I don’t want 
to be anything if 
it takes that much
loss to be I don’t want 
to have to participate 
with a voice 
the cracks public 
makes in social space 
filled by greedy 
imperative spreads 
cancer to what we 
would otherwise 
communicate be with 
me make a sign to 
change their signs 
true leveler *an in
equality* information 
like a corpse went 
forth dragging its 
body in the aether 
where to put the 
body Modernity while 
we were gone value 
labored *Bodies: can’t 
live with them, can’t 
live without them*
