Me

The games I play with myself are questions or maybe answers

A puppeteer comes up to only me

He says, a little olfactory plot never hurt anybody

I say, what say you about architectures of thinking?

Every desire has a cousin, tangential and “blue”

I know exactly how to tumble, let me tell you

It starts with forgoing any possibility of pain
