in anything, uncoupled, there is death. carneys, clowns. canaries, in them, that sing. soul: one of many karaoke bars from which the devil was primarily thrown. this work of taking, from the body, its death. work for men whose eyes if shattered would release nothing. men at your window. men watching you watch horror films. the cant of each head polling, in its mask, a sameness. soul's arbiter: toothless. because it is a tooth. the poor, they take the head of an ant from the die of god they take it to mean decay.
