from The Diaphragm Knows One Motion Only
Hard work facilitates sexual identification. Hardly against false epiphanies. I'll be solid ground; you be top of the world. I'll be down to earth; you be rising above. You be rising up. You be fine blades with rulers. How the heart widens without changing position. How one falls in love with the process of morning. How my brochure kindles for you.
