the dream forest at the bottom of the lake fading 

 

felt       thoughtfully felt       veldt       feelingly thought       thought 

 

guarded language testing the doorknobs of words 

 

in reality an analogy that never breaks down 

 

the more massive the number of bodies the deeper the gravity well 

 

one neuron to another who can you talk to 

 

a red crab eats everything and a blue crab eats its own 

 

the search for the hydrant missing in the desert

 

a spiral staircase lying on its side where all the weirdness comes from
