could it be that the face with rollers in the hair
represents the idea of the concept of the self
that lives inside the body of the wine of the bread
a starter, sourdough initiation, a birth, a flicker
each could be like, as the same, identical to the
me that's described in the mind of the body
dually held conscious of the fact of not
being aware of the intuitive progression
of thought and action contained in the
glass of water, three quarters empty,
shaking with the heavy steps of
extinct creatures in classic films
a score to go along, that makes the
analogy fit snugly, the socks under
shoes, matching the mood and anticipating
the weather; have you crawled through this
space so far to get to the other side of a
basement window pane where a family
of raccoons are pretending to be skunks
to avail themselves of the protection
that fear provides to we mammals
