Remember to
Forget what you know sit softly
lulled by the sound of hundreds of
pens simultaneously writing down
your mistakes think of clouds
over that chasm you loveForget the ad that is following you
keep sharpening your teeth into points
we’ll see if we can find a knife and a fewlayers of breathable fabric as you
start off stinging wind your boot brittle
grass bright crunch beneathForget it and start again don’t think of pathogens
the tickle in your throat give the pills a chanceoutside flashes of red flowers one ant
carries his scrap of stone down into the dark

through the night creaking subtitles add to the store of kitschy collectibles much like nothing in the cellar you can remember
other animals
