if you have testicles make sure they're alright if you have ovaries, likewise sometimes it feels like our function is to multiply sometimes it feels like our function's to divide and i've learned now that junctures do divide like my friends' heads are splitting so wide falling down the stairs toward thirty or tomorrow in a hurry in a flurry in a fury in fear on the wings of a self-made promise on belief i am becoming a sea i am honest there are glowing things in the bottom of me there are nets cast in places that can't breathe and a body that is giving me light my body is a house is a light my death sends me owls in the night my mind shifts around, it's a kite it's a spear being here it's a sphere being here being here being here my death is a house is a

"still kill" 02:53
still kill I want your rest to come easier and last longer let's do it for a long time! a lot! also, I wanna be your still kill when the sinew is being pulled from my abdomen you will be tasting it on your tongue! my human, to yours your body will process mine I've spent much time deliberating, stressing, trying to "find myself" gauge "contributions" input/output: <to lie or to not lie?> <does that lie make me posion?> <does that friend?> <where am i & where is natural history going to be?> <will we remember each other?> cuz: “God” is in the image of us cuz: your body will process mine it will find what is good, best, and I will help you I have been so healthy so that I can be so healthful! I wish you could see my smile right now! And: it will find what is garbage of me. And: when you shit me out I want you to leave half in your favorite forest and half in the front lawn of my mom's (it's at 8218 S. Fairfield) I will be quiet but: I will be screaaaaaaming from your muscles from your jump shot from you being able to fuck incessantly with someone else you love (or: whatever!) and be a lil less tired I want your rest to come easier. all my art are just facsimiles of mountains, of coves, of joy, of your actual physical being. Once: because I was stupid, I wanted to die & be put in a box. Humans are afraid to give themselves to this world (The world). animals are not. Once: because I was stupid, I was afraid of death... when my death is inside you, when your hands are caressing a child or a tree branch… why, i get emotional just thinking about it
