Instruction Manual


circle yourself

            your perception

compress yourself within arm’s length

sift what you remember

                        out of what you know

                                    then sift your known self

through the hoops of your being

            through skull
                        and skeleton                organs
                        fluids and tissues
            through synapses and sphincters
                        vessels pores follicles
            through your last orgasm
                        your last dream
            through your current breath and
                        the salt in your mouth
            through the fatigue and the aches
                        that affect you

            through what exhilarates        humiliates
                                                                        you
what annihilates you
                                                and what remains.
