humors 25:12
why is memory involved in masturbation? where is the appreciation for an unlit room in a country that i've never visited? the bus never comes until it does and by then it's been too late for a while at least the places we had to be no longer exist the cage that would have saved us in its soft bars is the torso of a dead body the implements flick over the dead flesh in time with the recital of the doctors thoughts . the image of the body inert beneath the clamps and knives in the back row of the bus yells DANCE and fires at your feet you dance and the taste of nervous sweat that's pooled at your mouth's corners mixes with the pleasure of morbid repetition and a nostalgia for the weightlessness of childhood . when the bus comes the new swell out of the future and the new buses prepare their non-journey to never coming when i come i am usually alone the rottenfruit fuck drains out of the instant and when the optic's clean I am not more than a sense of movement why do the brain/gods of body point towards density and not toward the air outside the window that cultivates velocity and breath why don't they point toward skating rinks or any desert of the world ? why is catharsis a reflex of my life? why is memory involved in masturbation? on the bus i sit in the back and feel my stomach for answers after years of searching a dead clot finally reveals itself to my shame hungry fingers. as the bus rumbles towards, I tell myself that my body's betrayal will be like the shattering of a tyrannical love when i come to understand it. i don't realize when the bus arrives at my stop but get out anyway. the reasons for this have not yet descended to my brain. i smoke something and step into the unlit room high as fuck with no motive [misquote from unknown] my touch has become innocuous and devastating. now i am with you . i read the words written into the contours of the room in the dream i'll never have and perform the ritual with delicate force until your body sings the notes shake the clot in my stomach along its aural fault line until the cancer explodes like a wine glass.
