the body will constantly lose
The first I saw of him was a strobe-illusion, and I was young then,
smoking ditchweed out of a dented and perforated Coors can, and I
couldn’t help but think the whole party was designed to sift off my
better nature, to reduce me to impulses and second guesses, because I
was paranoid then, and tired of constantly suspecting this would be the
last I would ever know, each moment graded as an ending, as speaking to
the whole of my life before some celestial jury, so that the lights and
the noise became like a tide, something to float upon, so as to fear
nothign on this earth, for it was the whole of the experience which kept
me afloat. I don’t understand this logic now, but I find myself reaching
for it, from time to time, convinced there is a truth dormant beneath
the paint across the walls, the blood behind the face, that which
supports the pattern.
