though not in a library
strangely
humms from machines and
humans mesh
making music workable to
narcissim <—> self-loathing
a pendulum maybe
du har loggats ut
logga in igen
the earth is a spaceship
but don't buckle up
it's also a schoolbus
st. john's wort
there's something on the doorstep
with slender long claw fingers
a blank stare and no intentions
stooping face fixed on the door
no intentions so you're fine
deadbolt anyway
foggy vision makes way for
vivid imagination
what good are eyes when
the (depressed) brain takes
over
it's still on your doorstep
close your eyes and close the blinds
the lights go out but not really
what use have eyes when
imagination takes
over
IT'S STILL ON YOUR DOORSTEP
the mind shuts off but not really
'the' mind is hard at work
imagining the thing on the doorstep
the thing in the attic
the thing in the other room
the thing in the closet
the thing under your bed
the thing in your head
face presses against windows
hello there reader

a house on a hill, but not like THAT hill
nice female (gma?) owner
bank, maybe, walking down dark street
lazyboy chairs, blocked by fam
cuddled with her
a kiss, reluctantly she granted, when she left
her beauty vanished at that moment
sew kooky

passive voice collecting
paints a better picture

can't concentrate
depression makes it harder to let
go

we were all dogs
roamed the lawn
then locked up
in a room with loose windows
hated being imprisoned
knew if we ever escaped
we could never come back
they would fix the windows
once outside we ran away
as we get older we
must make do with the
decreasing length of
the chunks of free time
we are given
getting used to doing things
in less time or in
multiple segments

she is here
in a middle-eastern country
at war (but at peace for the moment)
a bunch of people from uni
have come to do research
(or photograph, like her)
we sit in a church and the
authorities (who are authorities
because they're older) have
us introduce ourselves and
what we do.
i leave to go to the bathroom until the introductions are over
because i have no reason to be there
i could lie and say i'm a photographer
but i don't
the bathroom is basically a dorm room
other people come
hang out in there after some time
window reveals we are on
a hill, next to the sea
…
buying a house
we buy the house jacob didn't buy
it has a neat door that leads to
a path down to the beach
(the house is beachfront)
jacob buys the house next door
to the right (if looking
at the fronts of the houses)
(before we buy this one)
so we end up as neighbors
apparently there are things
about the house that aren't liked
we begin working on it right away
i think the walls were purple

band playing
in some neighborhood
with instruments that aren't theirs?

swift's younger sister
name is rosa i think
…
vince got some new friends
they smoke and stuff
he has a great time with them
is going to again tomorrow
i tell him to make sure he
gets his work done
tell them he goes to an intense
college—they'll understand
we have this conversation while
walking out of a parking lot
headed somewhere
…
on a mountain with michael,
luke, and someone else i think
looking for plants to cut with one
of my three pocket knives
actually i have four
but one is a chunk of wood
converted into a knife
but the way the blade is attached
all it can do is shave things
like carrots or other chunks of wood
we descend the hill
michael tells me to sell all knives
except one because he doesn't
want them all in his backpack
he agrees to put my multiblade
one in his backpack
i keep a short bright green one
i sell a longer green one and a
yellow/gold one
for 4 and 3 monetary units
respectively
we arrive at a relatively large house
a bathroom has a massage table in it
i use this bathroom
in another room is everyone else
i go to a room across from the
bathroom and mess with the radio
searching for 81.3
i don't remember which song was
playing
i turn the lights on and say they
should stay on forever because
the house is kind of creepy at
night
