she thinks about the two things that i know if
one of them is elevation, and that comes clothed in light so to speak.
she loathes the dark.
she sleeps in light.
she likes highness.

4,218 feet there.

the problem is to run that gauntlet again.

remove 'problem'
remove 'gauntlet'
remove 'run'
remove 'is to'
remove 'the'
remove 'that'

leave 'this'
make 'this' whatever.

the design looks chinese

a flashpowder tattoo

in the beginning... there were rocks

and on those rocks with harder rocks we learnt to make a million bruises

spell out things like "we were here" and "watch your water"

the idea of bruises adding up to something

for rocks to skim

a tendency towards... motion pictures

they come from the sameness of the idea of the outside-ness,
not the alongside the outside-ness,

he sat and thought about obedience
he had resolved that, of the two kinds,
the kind that takes every message of order, rule, law as error
that everybody who passes along these messages
that loathes the buildings
that contradicts the inner voice
that resists, in short, was his
and the other kind...
how could it be?
