looking in--wood beams lie flat along the ceiling i look flat when i look at me the way i am not supposed to look at me like i am perched upon a wood beam on the ceiling like i am a cameraman, or an evaluator, or a lover i transform, wax, but moving remembering the cues, the lines, the x's looking in-- cushions hunch the arch of my back i am full and curved and dimensional in disturbing ways i am perched on the wood but i can hardly continue my gaze things are puffed and jutting in ways that bring disgust even words spill out in asynchronous patterns and i wonder who the **** is guiding this sorry woman. looking out-- nothing to recount.
