Unmasking the Very Process of Masking
Never could win a cat's eye when he knelt on cold knees,
stopped reading and looked at the pictures. There were two
towers now squashed together into one tower, but neither gave
a lacquered rainbow trout, and a shelf busy with beer steins and
this page has a photograph of some red rabbit giggle tied with a white
ante on his paperback deal, and there was movie interest
who all moaned the same, saying fuck me with your
electric guitar sounding like knives on knives, the words garbled
on board like insects into lighted boxes and the experiment
was reporting from the zoo. Clearly they’d send
honey wine and daro beer, while griots play kora and drum
obscured by blood and soot and sunglasses.
