We were talking… [2009]

These dialogues wrest of me the fortitude found in illness.

(I hemorrhaged from the fundament
for this?)

"if yours is to be found
it might not be found
in the instinct
or rather
the soul of you"

(take it...take it...)

"but one might look
out in the yard
in the firepit
or on the bottom
of one's shoe"

(find far away to be)

"however
one thing is certain
you will not find it
in your wallet
or in the work you do"

(milk...eggs...bread...toilet paper)

"you might think
of scaling 
a mountain
to get yourself
a better view"

(oh boy, here we go)

...about religion and politics and how large sums of money are made.
