I'm into meat
The Hanging Meat Ritual of an Imaginary Tribe
Mosquito swarms and sunsets make the hulk black
With white edges whirling in and out of it like
Licorice Stripes on a candy drop;
A ragged shape raggeder when slipping bits grow seams;
Loose bundles in a corporate whole that gash the
Surface by their defections of rot. They descend
Loosely, and drip into a slush still appetizing. Holy
Sustainer! and Noble Shape in the Sky! to amazed
Wolves cowed with each release, crouching
At the simultaneity of tear, slide twinge, dangle; melt,
Drop, splash drape—the holy slough of their
Distant sustainer.
More infrequent now: it has dropped so much of itself
And when without its heft it blows in the wind it
Blows weirdly. Even the wolves stop coming.
The sinew is too tough to drop and limps there like the
Frayed ends of the rope, its body descended into
Second death more permanent, until

Commute
One
I’m really glad our carpool became a great success on account of our good planning for what is in our best interest for the good of the week and the days that it depends on for the good of the month.
Two
Well said.
(with the click of his seatbelt, One stares at Two)
One
(in voiceover pulp-novel style) Oh. Yes. Love. Love for the way he drives us to our work destinations completely against his will. He hates me and I hate him. To watch him navigate around that. I love the navigation. I hate him.

No! You must provide X address with your thumbs over your eyes, and the words on the tip of your tounge followed by visual aid in power point format , don’t email as an attachment, save it to cd, dvdr, 8 track, blu-ray.
Two
Blu-ray?
Two/One
Soufflé! (yum yum)
Two
(in voice over, pulp-novel style) Oh. Yes. Love. To watch him plant his little inside jokes about desserts into the fabric of our relationship. I hate him so deeply.
