Give Thanks 2012


i remember when the storm hit and there were leaves everywhere and my friends were drinking tea in my apartment, imagining what was going on in manhattan.

1. It's different this week, yes? Didn't quite have the same equilibrium.

Yeah. I felt that. Maybe it's cos I don't know this tune as well.

It's hard. I mean, what do you do with that melody? But I love it.

2. He came up to me while i was smoking and literally just sat in my lap.

3. Adam! You're actually home!

Uh, yeah. I'm on hiatus from being dead. You should try it sometime, it's quite relaxing...

4. When I was 23 I was in New York City looking for my body.

5. -someone died. There are bars of light on the pavement beside Washington Square.

6. Mummy, what's philosophy?

7. I dreamed of music that was of the body/that neither commoditised soul nor technique/Lived its melodies as the unceasing dance of bodies/I dreamed of music that carved out of the rain a cave to sleep in and be warm.

8. I sank below the street, dripped onto a subway track and kept going. Soon, warm rock and then lava. Amid the strains of guitar music there was a cluster of souls.

A soul looks like a long, white string. Most people's souls dangle far beneath them into the mantle, where their concentric movements cause them to knot and tangle in the heat.

This causes problems.

9. Judith Butler thinks my penis is a fiction. I hope it's a good one.

10. Makeup is a prison for your face.

11. I am in love with the tubist in the NY philharmonic.

There was one time I was sitting second circle and my head was full of cotton and every breath I took was a mute contortion of my lungs into new shapes of pain and the sounds of people, their ticking and fidgeting and the noise their hair makes but FWOOOM some ritual FWOOM it was fall but we were longing for spring FWOOOOOOOM spinning and nose hurts from tears sprouting in the frost FWWWOOOOM freefall, the arc of birds, blood in the morning, when my body was with the air and free, free, free, free, free.

12. this is a good place we found. For you and me and kim and yuki and ricky and leo and all of our crazy friends and all of our crazy things.

13. you can look at the traffic forever. I never get bored.
Neither do I.
