Sunday, March 31st
4 - 7pm
Head
she’s into the essence of things and
we know sometimes that’s NOT fair
Heat Tech
some of us don’t know what to do
with FEELINGS like
hot potatoes
Book
it's JUST some kind of Craft
she can tell you what it's like
but mostly how well it works
Shorts/Consciousness
her ass looks/feels HUGE delivering
the paper sometimes
they say thank you
Party
exhausted by the casting
she’ll arrange the representative CHUNKS
the proof is in the puzzle
Class
she’s laughing but
her new name is contagious
how much more DISCREET can she be?
they did just learn tools for blending &
how slow and steady wins the race...
Reading
stare at it UNTIL your eyes drop out
this desk this wall this unreal page
一休宗純
Hiding
the DRAWINGS
the pictures
the morning dew on my phone
