Discourse
Excerpt from “Cellular Assaults”
Well, did you… breaks a room
into parts, a diorama.
Flat, well-placed
things. Calculated spaces.
From above, just slits
of paper. I’m in a frame.
I am held still
by my own stiffness. I have
no depth. A cardboard cutout.
The box moves back
and forth from shelf to box
to display case to box
to the dump.
My cardboard self is nicked
and worn. Well, did you… ?
Someone throws trash
on the diorama. Did you
say something? Spoiled food stuffs
seep into the cardboard. Did you
do something? Grunge and wrappers.
Well, did you
suggest something? Loose bits crush
the frame, the scene, the cardboard-
thin me. It is all called trash now.*

AHAU
Kin 240: Yellow Rhythmic Sun
I organize in order to enlighten
Balancing life
I seal the matrix of universal fire
With the rhythmic tone of equality
I am guided by my own power doubled.
Universal timing is impartial and organized by a precise numerical code that reveals to it exactly where each and every one of us is in terms of the evolutionary process at any given time.*
