the nineteenth century

It’s been so long and here we are at a clearing or a lot vestigial relations feelings like little bones or teeth or whether or not to beg your pardon The situation is by which I mean the geography is The questions are what follows Will this be the end of the world? and the beginning of Will this be a new world? Would you believe that for the first time ever since the beginning of questions these are and have never been mutually exclusive? Interviews with the muscles of your ear I hope you are asking yourself what idioms you will take with you to the next end the new end And what idioms you will finally be hungry enough to swallow What Place will they have the discarded idioms inside you and then again? Aren’t you excited To live someday without having to worry about the flushable idioms? Aren’t you excited To live someday without having to worry about the end of the world? Aren’t you excited To lie with the dead without having to worry about who will bury them? (The dead of course Aren’t you excited? will bury their dead—!) Aren’t you excited? Aren’t you excited? “I get so excited in your arms”
