Number*

 

Paint-by-

numbers (number

False starts.

is uncertain. 

 

Our body

seems to

be another. 

 

What if

we pretend? 

 

Don’t call

it anything –

 Enthusiasm Couplet

My enthusiasm for orgasms continues apace.

My enthusiasm for death with a big D remains negligible.

a phenomenology

of blinking

 

like consciousness itself.

If all

we are

is information

who is

going to

harvest us?

Apocalypse comes

that climax

feel like?

A storm

of zeros

and ones?

Fragment 

I as

slow fermentation

of surrogates --

unstable distiller

of substitutes.
