"emptiness is form"
in this what's wrong picture
the samurai's complexion
swings a nunchuck in the face
of homeostasis, draws a bell

look for retinal notions
of hospitality or phrenological
statements like do we really need
that zoom in? certain predictive
evasions allow for animal
consciousness, weather systems,
and what the model should look
like, her body a sort of system where
dropkick knocks the chin over the face.
"what is love"

deformed again and again
she places hands where i least
expect them. keyholes obnoxious
and wrong. see them in green
apparently plexiglass fuschia.
so many things can come
out of a wall. blond hair.
legs. sliced anatomy. just
let the boat dock! i want to
take my queries and sun.
