I.
the knife sitting atop the table is the very
lucidity we are actually seeking whenever we drop the very
knife now still sitting there right there next to the very
pepperish-looking apples one of which seems very
close to being pierced if it is not already
very very drippy so that whoops right up off of the table a very
spare almost laughably-existent drip is repeating itself to form a puddle so very
not slippery but the table itself the table the table
the table is very human-like very rather neighborly its face
is several domestic objects congealed into a pattern
a very silly a very cryptic a very effusive
schema and I think I mostly mean to say it’s very
strange how everything one might ever
need to know of the entire world the table’s
mien props aloft very very so very very very
very unsurely
II.
but really what is really not eminently really very knowable about how that same knife’s
edge has now made another further
additional added puddle consisting largely
consisting entirely of mine own blood’s
finality
III.
but when is it all enough like resolutely like I mean I mean what is pure thingness’s
threshold its brink but oh look just look look look the apples the blood
the table the puddles plus the knife all of it
all of it and the foot my foot foot which is very
very very much mine and which leads in time and in space to my face which is the table par
excellence of personhood paraded across
streets across stations parks intersections downtowns where the pattern
repeats itself so very very surely in arm-leg-arm-skull-
torso combinations but the apples the apples those
pepperish-looking bulks how they without ever once
moving show they maybe probably show so very very very
sharply the drift of those frames we so
casually call minutes minutes
seconds
