El Egg

IV. Centuries






How can you prepare for what gives?

Sometimes the word consciousness

tastes good like a cigarette should.

From shoulder to shoulder, from penned

wing to absent pinion. Not my mind, just a sign

of an inch stabbed as consequence.

One instant in which the moment of knowledge

is inaccessible. The labor of presupposition.

A late blur. The first part of this science

should be gobbled up in silence, all down

the difficult path of poisoned roses. Remember

that photos are developed in the dark. You are

the one doing the thinking. Consciousness

like a phone off the hook. A signal that

time is about to get busy. Not a private affair.

Autumn -- suddenly last summer's Geist.
