Phenomenology Poem.

I. Same image: Smash a skull, pour out the mush-- isn't that a person? Or is that just some smooth thing --skin for a jellyfish! --gummy wrapper! --used condom!-- that we might have figured as an infant without legs? II. Same image: pink-wet brain. Send some pulses to me. Is it beneath me? This thing that sings "this thing"? This thing insisting these words? Persisting in carpal-tunnel clicking wrists, knowing itself by coughing up stuff I didn't know I had. Send some pulses in that machine that maps me. And thinking of jellyfish, of a gummy wrapper, the condom. III. Same image: we kiss.
