alone into
society’s ragged necktie

interfering
with gentle
interlocutors interested in

cracking
the imbittered
roots of form

merely makeshift
individuality allows stone

cold
knowledge to
shuffle across unmolested

kisses understanding
misfortune’s extent and

perched far
doubtful

the sky’s
indistinction exposes silent

framework

tangle zoological inventions

blasting nameless opacity

exchange of
vision

undeniable stiff perplexity
yet less
embarrassment
