| 20 | | My body is attached to your body by a thin spittle of thought. | ||
| 21 | | When you turn away from me, my thought is broken | ||
| 22 | | and forms anew with something else. Ideas are drool. | ||
| 23 | | Beauty has been slobbered over far too long. [God][] | ||
| 24 | | is a tidal wave of bodily fluid. Even the flea has some | ||
| 25 | | vestigial wetness. We live in a world fleshy and dark, | ||
| 26 | | and moist as a nostril. Is conciousness only a watery-eyed | ||
| 27 | | romantic, crying softly into his [shirt-sleeve][]? Is not reason | ||
| 28 | | a square-jawed businessman with a briefcase full of memory? | ||
| 29 | | I want to kiss the world to make it mine. I want to become | ||
| 30 | | a Judas to reality, betray it with the wetness of emotion. | ||
