each time I look in the mirror it's a suprise;
does anyone have the time?
i see streaming faces...
[quick,mechanically]
"wearing a white plastic mask suspended several inches in front of the face. inside the mask is a microphone with which the wearer can mix odd and extraneous sounds. outside the mask is a slot in which can be placed an image, and alternate face, a cityscape, a broken shadow. long conversations are held between individuals never exchanging a word, just shifting images and exchanging unusual and deliberate sound."
each time i look...

Three thousand dummies
Flesh bound like plastic
Plastered eyes and hair
Exchanging place with
Housebound tubes of hair and gristle
Watching you watching
workers
Hands outstretched and rubbing
Each to dirty hands
And foot to mouth
A putrid fount
Of metaphoric greed
And old disease
I flout my anger
"Let me bleed!"
Or drink away the hours
Head to floor on forehead balanced
Crawling, all the strength
To beg; implore you sir:
My fleshy body
Bends to all desire

[obsequiously]

this is where the sand gets tight.
this is where the fragrant night lies.
what time is it?
each time...

this is the blank remorse
a hoarse shouting
Over and over
Held in the head
"Some kind of experiment?"
Holding fast to the street
"Yes my dear
dear officer...
For thee I wait"


Laid back buoyant in the black stream
Shoulders arched to the flowing warm
As cascade rocks; projections
Never touching my skin
Sick again
And not even in my stride
The coal black flowing velvet
Night-pricks to my eye
Stting on the steps
Urine soiling my crotch
My eyes rolling, rolling
Could you feel my temptations?
In evil concrete steps
Doors flap uncontrollably
As carress my shoulders
That's my body
That's my body
Wrapped in water
Drifting back.



[crazed]
cars, accidents, people shouting, walking,
breaking and shaking the whole infrastructure coming apart.
sleeves, vibrations,
what time is it?
what time is it?
what time is it?
what time is it? ...
this is the course of the night,
this is the way into frightful remourse.

Which is why we recourse into
the drifting countentance.



These are large and healthy.

What's left to mutilate?
The line ends here;
Flesh peeling burnt red,
A round supple found
a hair specked gown
of thin white paper
burst and borne from sweat.




"Well of course it's illegal!"
continued to smoke she said
they're pounding on the wall again
standstill at the mirror

[trancelike]
I was unable to talk
They held my eyes out
Finger to finger to thumb
Three encircled orb
See walking
You holding tongue
We stretching
Into black backing my way
They said:
"hold this man"
