X your skin

.

.Tonight is a strange night
I don’t feel like an adamant object
nor do I feel like a square, or a sphere
what if you're living twenty years from now
while I'm living in your past - right now and here

What are these
these marbles of oil and glass time muscles
that live between us -
against us -
acting as bearings
to what may seem: as the ending of all adjacent - feeling

I'm 10 feet away from you right now
I'm within someone else's conscience -
looking directly at you
never again am I sleeping
I'm everyone, just like you.

We'll pass through the fountains -
spouting upon the sky
the vomiting liquids of our apple
our apple of despair
the chords of our function - work
these are the seeds of our care

Eat -
eat I say
eat my hair

This is an amazing type of symmetry, it is deeply embedding into the consciousness...the man next to me is glaring at me, does he know what i'm thinking...amazing...
