lyrics

care about recording every instance
and practicing through them, uh like
wiped at the end of each cycle
and there had been several, already
so it's all compressed by this kind of headache
or claiming to be, compressed, right, but
but where the question can come from is, or it can be, yourself

a line was drawn for an adjacent column
it's said that many of the same instances of forgiveness
actually can be more difficult than like one, grand gesture
the kind that re-envelops the other into your warmth and your allowance/abundance
if like reconfiguring the whole
umm, i don't want to say mirage/delusion,
but yeah like, a trick for,
it's like, it's like
taking an item from the shelved wall, to the window display

i threw up during the election watch party
and again sitting at the balcony, in that serene peace too, yeah
because, um, i'm reminded plainly of my traitoring by my pulse
and i can hear it in those periods between, um, acknowledging
the responsibility of my being of the minority world
that orb of one-way vision, of passing through
climate controlled rooms
and deciding after all that primarily to document, for it, to record instances
and practice through them, on top of that
to clean up my own space in my mind at the end
and, um, there had been several, already, right
so i just have to adjust the positions and
or like interpret the positions to be adjusting and
that's where it comes from/
that's the question and answer and just
the work all wrapped up in one
it's just kind of a restatement and even this,
what is this--

the margin had not even slipped into the opposing side
though yeah, it did eventually,
but, see, i am trying to make a point about choices,
believing them to exist where they don't exist, too
but here yeah, i do think you deserve observing
this on-ramp onto guilt with
you meaning i, deserve observing
because i watch you make the choice to accept it every day
non-automatic glances because i see you making the choice to

talk, umm, thank you
we have sight to lend if we have the idle time
to deliberately take in something called
literally like ambient or experimental music
f-- sound art/poetry
let alone to render it

and you are beginning the endeavor
illustrating the position with
rows and rows of speech almost like to suppress the, of course,
counter logics but which you interpret as um,
how self defense manifests,
what okay and, and then this is the refrain, right?
because even after this, you still. i don't know.
that having presented all of it, at the moment,
a different reading of the project than all this...
i don't know. is possible
i don't know about that
