every night this decision must be made, to break in half or take it whole, this small ovular mechanism that will regulate my thoughts and actions, my words, my many wasted dreams, my general momentum. several factors must be taken into consideration, more than are fully understood, how many terrible thoughts were there today, how…

they lord, forgive them for what they do not know, forgive them for their conceived notions of your will and your testament, they lord, they know not who they be. they lord, let them clamor across the earth from city to city, desert to desert, locking arms and swaying in the dead air, let them…
