POEM: How could I write those things? How could I imagine I'd get away with it? I live in the vacuum state beset on all sides by the virtual. How could I think that this work is anything but mediocre? I've made a mess of the body and sexuality. I've completely screwed up politics and social media. Now I stare at our faces in the mirror. I want a better future Azure than my dismal clothing! The vacuum is my friend annihilating my thoughts I have to avoid the bad thoughts. I made a mess of my own body and its sexuality. I look at my body and say "its sexuality." And look at my body and say "its corruption and collapse." After I die I wish my ashes scattered on my ashes. Tomorrow I will speak about the Holocaust. The day after I will speak about holocausts. I am sure I will speak about extinctions in general. I will exclude my own because that will be so depressing. Azure and I will take a meandering walk. We begin at our place where we sleep and continue. Sometimes sooner we turn around. We turn around after we can't see our place any more. We know the way back through the city funnel. The funnel is dark and its cloaca spills into our place. Realistically it spills into the doorway of our place. There are boys and girls drunk there and broken bricks. The bricks were put into place but snow has broken them. O bricks where are thy other bricks. The city is poor and has no replacement bricks. The city is poor and has no replacement city. I contemplate the holo-deck and -causts. Sun heats the stuff and it breaks down. Rubber breaks down in sun and wood cracks. Everything makes a sound then silence. How could I write these things? How could I imagine I'd get away with it? My writing is hateful. My sexuality leans out and crashes. My body follows suit tout suite. Here come the virtual particles. Semen washes off and is extinct. I am excluded from exclusion but this by no means. We meander a visit. How could I be so stupid? KEY: gine I'd get ww wy with it? y with it? y with it?
