<the window from the glass>

why doesn't

there must be at least two preferably a couple

doesn't anyone

at least two standing at a window facing westward standing in the now to

look at all conceivable pinks and crimsons spread across the westward
sky

could be only one but preferably

anyone get it

two preferably since then together they will know they are standing in
the now but will not know if they are looking toward the pinks and
crimsons of the future or of the past

why doesn't anyone

the true sadness is understanding being in the now but not being able to

realize whether the gazed at sky is the future or the past the true
sadness is two together understanding but not realizing


why doesn't anyone get it

this how many does it take riddle one of those how many does it take to

why doesn't anyone get it

one of those how many does it take to it's how many panes of glass does
it take to repair the old window that's it what is asked

there must be at least two

the true sadness true wound true hurt

so it's what is asked it's how many panes of glass does it take to
repair the old window it's three it takes three in order to see clearly
enough the carpenter on the other side

at least two to get it

the true hurt

to see clearly enough the carpenter on the other side

From "skin"

protons don't have a skin like we do and they're made up of something
like muons or quarks just forces that don't have skins either if you
know any physicists please inform me I'm worried last week we were on
our way to a party hosted by an allergist and a psychiatrist it was a
misunderstanding I had thought she was a physicist and had to do a good
job hiding my disappointment once I learned the truth but we enjoyed a
sunny day in the country and ate pretty well

arousal agoing adying gone agone agone around the anxious soul flitting
around for any answer at all a little a little armour around and
absolutely all voices speaking at once is the answer or the answer is
absolute silence
