life inside a telescope i'm interested in selling parts of my body when i'm dead. i'd like to see my ear in someone's windowsill. they might look at it & say, "i should get rid of that" but instead they hang on. this is how i live my life. every time i move i become aware of just how many books i have that i have never opened again since reading. in my last house i only had one pan. upstairs a man listened to the radio & the radio said, "i don't want to be your daughter anymore." i have been looking too closely at everyone. a lens is a horror factory. do you know half the people i talk to are only reciting lines from television shows? do you know we all have pimples? i thought everyone else walked around with dinner-plate-smooth cheeks. no! even the beautiful people have pimples they're hiding. i am not sure if i want to sell my eyes. they feel the most intimate. maybe i will have them put into raviolis. i've been obsessed with butternut squash recently. if we really needed to i think we could probably eat moths for protein. a huge one flies into the house & i chase it as if it is a piece of my face. i think my nose would go for the most money though. someone might mount it like a deer head. do people hunt where you live? they do here. a deer is a site of reconciliation. when i see them. i tell them to run.
