Len Gurts Cut-It-Off Technique

An experimental edge being taken off.
A belief in love with no. Cogito.
Two lines—they down. We off baby.
Sliding my fingersddgghjjkl across it. I just had a flashback.
Can it be musical? Could I plan that?
Creating a piece of art for one person, no thought of the rest of the audience. Impossible.
But the credits are on your mind with their tanks.
Jumping too far ahead: the return! the return!
Questioning the !!
These are getting so much shorter for me and I am watching less trauma.
This cannot correlate with a coherent… canvas? Performance piece?
What is my voice?
I agree—we should throw it all out the window. But then how you going to tell me?
That’s right: in the wake of around… one thousand people: none of them are close.
Shorter sentence.
I was getting carried away.
This is like the silent retreat you keep threatening.
Why did I have that target? What did they do?
Up, down, left, right—moods. Not mine.

(No—don’t include her anymore.)
She uses pronouns professionally but I know how she feels.
What does… this?… say about
what is?
I. Can’t. Say. What the. Ther-a-pist. Said.
I. Want. You. To. Read it. Like. Me.
That was it: if it’s universal surely it’s unrepresentative? When does the story end?
Anddddd—the things I could have done instead of this.
