the music took harmonicas way back into the body, away from
the dialectic of critical reason, all the way back through
marx and hegel's port 80, on my way to 3, on my way back to you,
too many things already on the way back to 978:

    978	on the way back
   1846	beautiful skies on the way back
   2374	road machinery from sac, on the way back
   2565	entering council bluffs, omaha on the way back
   2572	on the way back
   3284	passing small fair on the way back
   3356	roadsigns on the way back
   3446	rest stop on way back to providence

it had to be carried out. all the way back there, in of 1953,
this world of pre-freudian psychoanalytics, going all the way
back the way back to the balcony. the dance-dancer's wasted,
used-up by an angle of view not dissimilar to sitting mid-way
back in a theater, that's brocades ...

with this reversal, working the way back into the body, which is
why exactly, beginning with this reversal, working the way back
into the body, she was wending her solitary way back; she was
tired, and lost, and no one will find their way back. he said,
you have been finding or fighting your way back and to what? -
more of the same, all reduced from the margins of the world. on
the way back the subway was filled with rocks. we walked, mouths
opened and never enough focused. i'm halfway back into the womb;
the outer world which i've inherited is big and i knew her when
her name was other.

and the great lamina of the stars sway back and forth - all the
way back to my childhood - i dreamed of dividing a line...

minor phyla - anything on the way back to origins - are the way
back to the balcony. the dance-dancer's wasted, used-up - that's
ok, nothing can be seen from here.

in despair i searched, the sea on the way back
the sea framed the sea, the faces, the way.
we knew the way back through it, the same eating the same,
and we dreamed of dividing, the dance is over, dancer wasted,
dance and dancer used up, lounged against the margins of the
world, thinking our way back in through the bizarre assemblage
of dreams
