FIRST

exhaust self to the point
of just doing this — this

all one is able to
do is it all a game

i am not playing
are we mapping

or are you napping
is a question with

multiple addressees
the facebook face

doesn't scar, its body
cannot stand up to a tank

or bare the marks of
consequent mutilation

what are my questions
imaginary problems

for imaginary solutions
the sticker stuck to the

ground does it say
069 or 690 the same

record just the
other side am i

taming complexity or
entering a glassy phase

bodies breaking away, bodies
becoming and unbecoming

what i have in common
with my odd self i have

in common with his body
the way it moved when

i see you as you as you
see me as someone else

as a felt lack — unseen
object of indirect longing

are you really such a bad
subject as bad as you wish
