Mark Stricker


Notes

A man with a knife walks through a field:
This represents. This facilitates the obvious.

I need to tell you I will think
about doing something else.

And my hands will be warm,
water secretly dripping behind the walls.

Dreaming of nothing but software.
Dreaming of nothing but light.

To tell you your body is asking me
to think things I do not want to think.

Take it into your mouth—it is nothing.
If you feel it is important, it is nothing.

Something can be done,
something you haven't thought about.
