How long does one take to eat a piece of cheese that gets better with age?
I want to feel okay again, like we were
back on the bed in a humid Vietnamese summer before we slipped into
our arms and into each other. Where had all our sexual energy left
us? Inward, always falling inward.
I collect narratives and then butcher
them on a table with this machine. I have never been anything else
but a sprig in the cog of the clock.
