The Good Enough Other

bothered by

the backside

of a mirror

sucked into

being behind

what's not

entirely but

not entirely

not seen.

 Begging the Question

Running

the gauntlet,

looking for

loopholes,

yet to

have submitted

but wanting to

(beg the question).

 Here...

on the cusp

of legibility,

just to the side

of erasure,

adjacent to jouissance.

 From a Notebook

If one

denies oneself

one thing

one can

deny one's

self another.

The opposite's

also true.

Addiction swings

both ways.
