the miles overtook her. simple gods in their hollow underpinnings. flesh solved for its mediocre humanity. speed divided by distance. the chaos of patience juxtaposed to the surreptitious pathogen of hope.

disease is inevitable.

panting dogs. feral strays. the crumbling architecture of humanity. simple signs and complex conditions. lighting fires on the sun. drawing pictures of the epiphany. the terrible precautions of hunger and wisdom.

she loved him softly. hard was all he understood.

voices like stones. below the surface. the water is still. everything else is restless.

the moment like rain. the simple autonomy of sober. folded paper. broken pencils  little dolls. no scissors. just lines. to follow. the gyroscope of antipathy that measures how deep the hole has become.

the curious path. the obvious reasons. all things eventual. the practical lover. the irrational thief.

because it's always stolen. regardless of what it was.
