5/26/92:

Seal your convictions in a long thin business envelope.

Notarize it.

Stamp it.

Return address it.

Leave the front address blank.

Drop it in the mailbox.

Wait a few weeks, until you doubt your own thoughts,

and they will be promptly returned to you.

***

Let your body burn in the sun on one side.

Return to your home at the end of the day.

Let yourself feel like the moon.

***

Raisins are dried grapes.

Prunes are dried plumbs.

What are the things that dried thumbs are made of?

***

The more I think of becoming focused,

the more I just want to crack the lens.

***
