HospitalAsk for a world in which the white recedes and colour bleeds back in. You can feel a hand again as it softly strokes your hair - and you know it's your own. Nothing takes you from pain like its own promise. And where is promise?Hospital
Ask for a primrose world, one that means something beautiful but you don't know what it means. You can walk in its colour, softly, all day and that

TulipsI'm sorry we're still talking about this. My body and your body and bare bodies abounding - there should beTulips
nuclear physics in our bedrooms instead, the politics of elevators that go to the moon. Oh I am
so tired of tulips and veils. The internet will take me out my windows and doors, the colony gate, into the street and out
where I can know I would have been shot but not be shot, see the carnage, not be the carnage (a bomb rips through the city

Paper RaincoatsI heard a song and a sip of tea too strong for me, But I took it anyway The way bells ringPaper Raincoats
sometimes only in the West
I’d like to think time would wait for me in the cloud pockets like bags
collecting mail, slow this down slow me down So I can feel this
My skin never dries under the paper raincoat, And she says, "Well at least when its wet it can’t cut you" but she doesn’t know She doesn’t know that I would love to bleed

“Miserable creatures, thrown for a moment on the surface of this little pile of mud, is it decreed that one half of the flock should be the persecutor of the other? Is it for you, mankind, to pronounce on what is good and what is evil?”
