phenomenology of thought


piss gushes from my prick; sweat pours from my underarms; spit drips from
my mouth; my body is awash in bacteria and liquidity; tears envelop my
eyes; shit oozes from my asshole; semen cums from my prick; phlegm shoots
from my nose; moist breath pours from my lungs; cells slough from my skin;
scale falls from my lips; dandruff flakes from my hair; scabs tear from my
bites; blood floods from my cuts; nail parings split from my fingers and
toes; hairs grow and disappear < my mind thinks through membranes and
liquids; skeins and flood-plains > < woe to desiccation and starvation;
woe to the rusted machinery of the flood > < already i feel the shifting
of the soaking earth; the relative puckering of the valleys; glacial
withdrawals; the long way towards cessation > < particulate matter and the
expostulation of the machinic > < i remain at a loss among all this
delicacy > :

and thinking while thought remains; and the fragility and violence of
symbols; and the fragility and violence of the symbolic; and the relative
dearth of an earth of seven billion; and the relative scarcity of thought;
and the privilege of thought in the midst of streams and rivers, floods
and lakes, seas and oceans; the pool and pond

- the drowning pool of thought - the rusting pond of mindful thinking -
