2 It could be verse...

in the beginning there was the
floating sphere, jostled and
buffeted it was in jelly like
passages of the institute

there on the curled lip of sanity
it sucked and slide on the
membrane, delivered like a
repressive gift, though compressed
and colored, knowlege was

doled out to the waiting

bubbles, wave upon wave

of conflicting information

and ignorance, revelation and
dogma, the sphere struggles

to eat,

defacate,

and grow, kneading jt's way

to the surface

Questions After Dark

There's something

and 1! don't know what it is
it's a question

it's a finger in my gut
it's boredom

it's a cool layer of nothing around my heart.

Nothing makes it go away.

Friendship, love, sex, food, sleep, entertainment, drugs, work,
leisure, pleasure, things, acclaim, blame, sunshine, rain,
night, day, morning, evening, alone, accompanied,

nothing makes it go away.

1 no longer want the things | used to want. ai

| used to think they'd make it gO away.

{'ve checked it out.

They don't.
