1.
There is a father inside somewhere. A broken old master-- one who can teach and feel. Not this pill this pill-swallowing shell. A hollow, sweating ex-man who sits and mumbles “trees are renewable” over, over until he loses his job and the son is left with a sunken chair for a father, an empty bird in an empty cage.

We went to pet the ducks and pigs. Later I swallowed all the abilify I could find. The goats chewed my belt, slept in the shade. We flicked the cow's utters and I was led to a trough. The doctors raped my stomach with charcoal. What a horse, all muscle and hoof. You belong in this barn, the nurse said. I lifted my testicles for her. Lifted my feet. Hair in strings like straw from the vomit. My stomach full from the pellets I am fed. There are hay rides shuttling pigs to the hospital.

Cars shooting fluids over backs like whales. Was it a car? Or just two people humping along along the lake the lake swallows the skyline skyline grey you call me call, response a “fuck you and your friends” I walk out the moving car the humping folk yolk runny you'd gag on my eggs eyes skyline grey cars like whales or whatevers lake whatever flapping to our right, the skyline reflecting, falling into or onto itself.

Vic Morrow 02:15
There is some man in my car I see from a window, fooling in my back seat like a seal with a knife juggled on its nose. The man does not belong. This is a backseat, damnit! Not some cave not some dark to dance in, flowering all over this backseat my backseat “I see you!” I yell “I see you!” But the man is still juggling that knife with a wrist, and I need to throw pants on before running out, covered in oh so many socks oh so many men in my backseat now. all the same one, weird man now smashing a forehead through my headrest. These socks falling off my shoulders like Vic Morrow and co. This head now through a window barking at the man “put down the wrist! Barking “put down the wrist!” and the man, Vic Morrow, and me all fooling together, shoving what socks we have through my headrest.

about

The captain is dead. Kill the dogs. Eat them. Kill the sailors. Go into the ice and don't come back. This is your home now, remember. There is a sound somewhere in the cold. Keep it. The bodies are the sound. You should eat that too.
There is an ice shelf where the sound hears itself dying.
It can hear every vowel.
Little vowels falling to zero. It sounds like “dep-a-kote.”


Infinite thanks to Her, to Mike, to Everyone.
