The quiet in you, I love.
And although this isn't really you,
I love it still.
I cherish and hold it as you.
It lasts in and of and for itself.
One of the Great Domestic Mysteries
My brother cries every afternoon.
Inescapably, every 5pm exactly, heavy sobs and real water tears
Mould the house into a sinking ship.
4.30pm is shower time.
The familiar slaps of the soapy washer
Make him laugh in buoyant hicks
His legs are ticklish
He makes a game of snatching the washer and pegging it.
The water stops, towelling begins
And so does the downward post-shower lament.
This ritual; one of the Great Domestic Mysteries
could only be solved if he could speak.
Some kind of 30 minute miracle would do it.
Among other pending questions about his life, I'd ask him:
"Why the daily 5pm Death?"
"Would you recommend a scheduled 'piece of mind' cry every day?"
"Is it the feeling of the towel that you hate?"
"Or is it the sadness of another day passing as a man suffocating in his own endless limitations?"
21st century miracles are rare.
After a lie down, his sobbing heaves
Slow.
He calms in time for an early dinner
of mushed up tuna bake and vegetables.

When I was a child:
I wondered why I hadn't been to a funeral, yet.
I loved an ice cream dress.
I realised I wasn't an object worthy of desire
And that desired objects were valuable.
Bob Hawk was King
I fell in unrequited love with my 2nd cousin,
then moved on to Johnny Farnham
I hated the sports day gun.
I wished for a super power
and got one.
I fell into the habit of staring at people.
I learnt that sometimes, Men are attracted to children.
I washed my feet over 50 times per day.
I fantasised about the convenience of a water world.
I wrote lists of worldly advice for myself like -
'Things To Remember When Kissing:
1. Stop Panicking!...'
One year, I aspired to join the nunnery
The next, I excavated the backyard pet graveyard
for archaeological research purposes.
I wondered why I wasn't famous, yet.
I danced for strangers in the nude.
Things were okay, overall.
Things are still okay.

Enomis Totip and The Smiling Assassin (Ep.6, Season 3.)
People don't turn into monsters.
You just get to know them better.
You just get to know them better.
When the mind is not otherwise occupied
Those who wrong you
Stay.
Their faces
like dirty cards
in your pocket.
CPU
I dreamt of dogs
and woke up to ask you
whether it would be interesting
if days could have divinely designated themes.
Then i left for the office.
Driving home,
I ran over a black cat.

I was castrated at rebirth providing some explanation for my high voice.
Backpack.
I feel VERY very very Angry.
But I didn't tell you
Because I didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable.

The Girl of Man
IF I'M NOT SEEING VISIONS
I'LL TAKE OUT MY EYES
IF I'M NOT HEARING VOICES
THEN I'LL PIN AWAY MY EARS
IF I'M NOT SPEWING TRUTH OUT
I'LL SPIT OUT THE SOURCE OF SOUND
IF MY BODY DOESN'T KILL YOU
THEN I'LL STAY IN THE HOUSE
THIS IS NOT A REVOLUTION
THIS IS NOT A GIFT FROM GOD
I AM LYING DOWN BEFORE
THE SHADOW UNDER CLOAKS OF THE LORD
IF I WASN'T PICKED FOR CHOSEN
THEN I'LL GIVE MYSELF TO CHAOS
IF I'M NOT THE GIRL OF MAN
I'LL REVERSE INTO BIRTH
AND RUN BACK INTO PRECONCEPTION
DARKNESS, ABSENCE OF NONE
THIS IS NOT A REVOLUTION
THIS IS NOT A GIFT FROM GOD
I AM LYING DOWN BEFORE
THE SHADOW UNDER CLOAKS OF THE LORD.
Love is...
curiosity and distraction rarely straying far off the path of thought into the forests of the rest.
