Vaguer and vaguer gesticulations, only insignificance
Sustained by scintilla of air
Heat applied to the mercury rod
Delicate traces of the noxious remain
Parity of experience

All roads leading to soft supple doughy nothingness
Beautiful absence made flesh
Can’t you see it’s youandyou

The Hunger exists
Yet though our taxonomy
Demands it
There are no such things as guttersnipes,
Craven curs, and well-juiced gallants
Propelled into Being
To question
Is to ignore
The nature of propulsion
And of Being
But to ignore
Is fine
X
All that is is all that ever
To question, in the abstract
Is in itself every single question
Ever (to be) posed
In the real
X
All separated
Only by the inability to see
The whole
Muddy
Interconnected
Mess
X
Slippy like,
Foamy like
Heated butter
And intwined multiplicity
Pulped lice
And ‘crowning architecture’
X
For me —
For everything that ever is
At a fixed point
And all other points which
This fixed point
Contains
X
— No other grounds
For Being
Are required
Nor possible
Nor, if honest
Wanted
X
So though propelled
Into this endeavour
And that
Seemingly (and incorrectly)
Contra desires and intent
X
I faithfully
Irrevocably
Remain
Both propelled
And, the propellor
We bludgeon the flaccid
Yet
Even if the inflections
Of vocals
And — by extension
Memories, remain
Why should that be
Something which phases?
X
As ‘principled’ animals we drift
Through sheets
Of cadavers
And the dawns
That sheets bring naturally
X
So little beasts
Just slink on out
Of the break
Stand on your
Hind legs
And piss freely
X
Attention
To all who realise that
Empathy is without
Anchor
And attention to those
Who don’t
