17 | My body is attached to your body by a thin spittle of thought. \ | ||
18 | When you turn away from me, my thought is broken \ | ||
19 | and forms anew with something else. Ideas are drool. \ | ||
20 | Beauty has been slobbered over far too long. [God][] \ | ||
21 | is a tidal wave of bodily fluid. Even the flea has some \ | ||
22 | vestigial wetness. We live in a world fleshy and dark, \ | ||
23 | and moist as a nostril. Is conciousness only a watery-eyed \ | ||
24 | romantic, crying softly into his [shirt-sleeve][]? Is not reason \ | ||
25 | a square-jawed businessman with a briefcase full of memory? \ | ||
26 | I want to kiss the world to make it mine. I want to become \ | ||
27 | a Judas to reality, betray it with the wetness of emotion. | ||
