Don't read these. (Metamorphoses)

The voice was
different

is
different

when you read
it.

x

If your team
doesn't hit
the target,
you'll be out
on your own.

x

The release, the
transformation -

(again) remind me
why I should

write it
down.

x

Little pictures


  • Look!
These machines
in black and


  • Wait!

x

Don't you
leave me
here

in your
ear

(or your
pocket)

x

the voices were

x

Consume
an orange
in a sudden
movement and it
can

x

vanish. The hand is quicker
than the eye, Grandpa says

as I decide I am not losing
the present tense.

x

Do I digress?
Diverge $ oops -

bulge?

Only when I find
myself, solely
in company

truly
alone

x

sirens

x

sometimes
I wish

I could remember
the beginning

to explain
this end -

There
was an orange -

Wait -
I can see
company -

Shapes? Strange
machine quietly

clacking / on the

surface - now

changes // tone

x

The voice was
different

is
different

when you read
it. Don't leave

us, don't
you

did
