Abstract
You will be punched in the face and then poked in the side
(it seems, someone, has something, to say)
You start off with a slow looking-back – making a steady assumption
You take that assumption, o p e n it up ~ into elaboration, and sing the thing
RIGHT ON out of itself
You sculpt
You step back
You say, ‘wait a minute – relax’
You wake up, wiggle toes, wait for [something], move, make~ into
[something], and stand by it
You laugh, get grounded, fight your way outside, come
back, and take care of things
You feel, in form
You go back at it, and get it out – there
(there) You endure, go away, gather, and, get, back, in again, and again, and again
You lose
It’s nothing
Together ~ it’s [something]…
