Little is effective.
An electrical storm.
More pressed flowers.
A Divine Comedy.
Our enforced comity.
Some phantom situation.
Our phantom enterprises.

Than one thought.
(This blank enclosure.)
Closed window into
Whatever is yet
To be opened.
Submission is remembering
Something otherwise problematized?

Raise your hands.
Come and testify.
