dearest [bl!nk] John Phillips

many many have those been demonstrated 
[i wear engleska l!ke 01 tomato dresz]
god exists negatively

and ...

nn has in recent times 
that negatively the self exists as well
tingle tangled.


allora ...  with mirrors we are left.

i mustnt remind to you that the mirror
has the greatest invention been humans
have had the pleasure of constructing 
must i +?

for the very 1st time - zum ersten mal
daaaaaa. did 01 human regard that which
it viewed as more authentic than that
which it thought.

und tzo va!ter.




>Thank you

if you gaze in 201 looking glass + whisper `thank you`
will the mirror smile back in 2 you +?

will then the strands of loosened hair 
surround you - like 01 vessel 
pouring into you. overflowing you.
to the higher basins - just you to ripen.

breaking off your arms - hand by hand.
lingering in your mouth 
without feet
hearing your name
swearing your name
extinguishing you
drop. 

drop.


burning


sleep  













>John

are you then the all +?


i yearn 2 b held.
