textual relations/e-ruptions
haiku:

making x's with

our piss in an abandoned
lot we walk homeward

i admire the back of his head
and the rings on the rude boy's hands


my paramour. mon pere est mort. first i preyed on you. then i prayed on you. ten years younger than the age of Christ. where’s yr thing at? the rose between us. mock heroics, the only heroics there is. the only heroics are us.


the nero cross is calling you. what will you do? the meaningness of elevators. the sexiness of chewing. gum. the thing. and the act. a conciliatory comfort.

"dreamers are calm and introspective. they have active imaginations but would rather reflect on what is happening than make a decision or take action. they appreciate privacy and dislike chitchat. they often avoid close relationships with business associates. approximately 10% of the us population falls into this category.

identifying a dreamer: dreamers use phrases such as “need time to reflect. . .,” “not sure what to do. . .,” or “don’t want to rock the boat.”


to establish rapport with a dreamer: be calm and deliberate. take charge of the situation, but give this person time to absorb and reflect upon the information you provide. use phrases such as “i’m here to help you” and “let me give you some advice.”

example: tell a dreamer, “let me tell you what i think you need to do.” once you have made yr proposal, finish with, “you think about that, and we’ll talk again later.”"


"but, once, for a moment, we had been close, and perhaps in that remembered closeness, the real miracle might occur."


i look on you with sick distance, with the eyes of a christian wolf. you are just a shape walking and i am just a shape wanting. and parts and pieces are never as biggreat as their sum.


all of us, a world of hurt. dirty fingers digging. this! this is what i want. this! this is what i can't have. the count. white blood cells and black mountains. malignant language. am i better? off. so long, see you tomorrow.

LOOK!
