history

everything that has come before 
all at once
a place that exists
in an indeterminable minute
that includes
life
any form
but something with soul
you can't say

recognition of other is
recognition of self
empathizing with other is
empathizing with self

this may all be reached at any moment
as they are all one looping mouth
hunger is
the tail pulling

watch out for the carnivore


8.28.99, noon

if boxes not me
held the girth
of your expectation

time to move
to a larger domicile
