"into your body at birth a sound chip was installed
and has since evolved over time..."


"Not too long ago I was in love with a poet.  We made intuitive intercourse out of each other's mouths for hours..."



"we were offered clues to hallucination
in the street..."

>  OZ  <

"I fucked his wife and it pleased me to do so..."



"I tried to kill my brother once.  60 degrees in January snow
melt.  Needle holes in arm, hammer in hand..."



"I can erase your existence
just with the removal of my memories..."


>  LINDA ORR  <

"I'm here, now, not because of what I know,
but because of what I wish I knew..."


>  JOE HAKE  <

"Why don't we just pretend that I'll respect you as a friend
You're lonely and so am I..."

 

>  JEN. ROSS  <

"Seething with angry anxiety..."

 

"The crème of my café longee reminds me of this morning,
when we had water in the sink,
coffee in an airtight package on the table,
and steam clenched in our teeth."
