I Think I Was Experiencing Something

No don’t go I can’t I can’t look at it
I can’t look at myself—I can’t look at what’s there
What’s there?
It is the full experience of it, I think. It’s understanding scripture
and all those collective myths. I can’t look at them—
I can’t feel them at all.
So yes—no—stay and shout——that is absolutely enough——
O you sound like her and him and that snake and the cartoons
but stay. I don’t know what this all is.
I can’t look. Please.


The line breaks and hanging line indents may be incorrectly formatted because I cannot be bothered to fiddle with the HTML. View the correct formatting in the full collection Juveni… Doesn’t Matter (The Grey-Salmon Book) (and subscribe at the top of the page).
