waking

a narrative wash – moved
like a desk – pulled away
enhanced? painted a picture
a screen pierced, pioneered
simply a thin membrane
a watch –

seriously – a telling theory
off the top coming back
- imagined – with distance
withdrawn – a room abashed –
necessarily a feeling – a narration
it makes sense – this is clarity
this is clear

like waking up one day
an idea – an essay
divorced from ends –
written, but not right –
as if, the idea, a proposal

the steps up the idea
– the thing starting off – your
taught a book taut –
credit – your name
on the tomb –

a contract delivered
ultimately an idea – a title –
What the Fuck
a profile prolific – interviewed
background a series
