as if to remember
as if to forget
to remain

to know

a cabinet
one would need to contain
the world

on television
all is remedied and made diseased
the black wig
the blue eyeshadow
the drop kick

every other
hunger
is in India
or right where you put it

this street is hunger
this lie is vast
a stream of lies
washing you of all purity

every other voice
is not mine
every last thought continues
in bright neon

while the thoughtless
like a royal appelation
the Thoughtless of Cornwall
the endless decree

of worn handkerchiefs&
snotty cuffs
