A PAIR OF LEATHER WORKMAN’S GLOVES ARE SOAKED IN WATER AND ALLOWED TO DRY AS AN INDIVIDUAL WEARS THEM WHILE HOLDING A SINGLE GLASS SHARD RETRIEVED FROM A VEHICLE DESTROYED IN AN AUTOMOBILE COLLISION.  ONCE THE GLOVES COMPLETELY DRY, THEY AND THE GLASS SHARD ARE PLACED UPON A PHILIPPE STARCK DESIGNED LOUIS GHOST CHAIR.

I don’t want to tell a story
I don’t want to tell

images, sounds, thoughts, feelings
insert them here

remove them
nothing is the way it was yesterday
nothing is the way it will be today

a patriarchy threatens to end before it began
today is not the day that will be
but every tomorrow may be

you thought you knew a language
you knew a word
you knew a word and it was slang

careful is the keeper
of lexicons never forgotten

you will find no meaning here
if that is what you came to seek

it is over and it is understood
that nothing makes sense
nothing will

not what is absent
what is absence itself
a head felled into thy hands
a popular uprising

{now the sound of wind}

Or

WwwwwwwwHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

being disembodied is all the rage these days

don’t you know
