Seeing things.  Things that are there.  At least to get it down on the surface not any good on the surface as far as that goes down with the words from a distant song a song screeching around within the walls of a head under a sky between hands with fingers missing from some such that refuses to be spoken about time it was put down to trauma and its changing lanes so carelessly while reciting lines of the do not worry slapped onto the box that leaked when set right side up fuck that right side up who said?  Who said that so hushed as if this head was turned off or something turned off to all the surface stuffiness holding this nose in place this place for looking around seeing things things that are there at least to get it down on the surface not any good on the surface as far as that goes with the words from a distant surface was it bed was it thighs were they?  Who said that so hushed as if this head was turned off or something turned off to all the hands with fingers missing gaps in hands gaps not where they need to be where they are needed to be when surfaces get in the way of gaps in surfaces an idea at some point in some place where surfaces are busy being vertical for a great deal of falling and landing bad landings leaning on another criteria slanting into landing bad landings who said that?  Who said that so hushed as if this head was turned off or something turned off to all the hands with fingers missing gaps in hands gaps not where they need to be where they are needed to be when surfaces get in the way of gaps in all the surfaces slanted towards versions more appealing to those more appealing as they move and glide along surfaces their surfaces beyond elbows that never make it to tables turned as surfaces slant slanting into landing bad landings who said that?  Who said so?  Who said so so hushed as if this head was turned off turned on if one must know no one needs to know the needs or the needing to have it known as no one has ever asked who's asking?  Who said so so hushed as if this head was turned off turned on if one must never care.


He carries the plastic gun that shoots the plastic stick with the suction cup at the end of it.  At the end of it the suction cup never sticks to anything standing up on toes to reach the sink and run the water on the suction cup to make it stick could have gotten the water gun instead but didn't what was this head thinking must have been turned off who said that?  Who said so so hushed as if this head was turned off turned on if one must know about what screeches around and whispers in hushed tones in this head as if turned off turned on if one must never care.  Wouldn't do that.  Wouldn't care, that is.  Missing fingers the gaps turn it off for a shorter time than one would estimate or guess or estimate how many missing fingers how many gaps that surfaces for thighs when a surface for a mouth on contact reappeared on contact was itself landing bad landing will suffice suffice it to say who says so?  Who said that so hushed as if this head was turned off turned on left on all night forgotten glowing with neon signs facing the back of the eyes facing the back of the head facing the back of the face always facing the about face.  


The mask is on inside out doing the about face always facing the about face half a mind to run through it again the 180 degrees turning about behind this mask that is inside out doing the about face always facing the about face half a mind to run through it again the 180 degrees turning about behind this mask that is inside out doing the about face on the surface arms next to those thighs that gave off something when giving still existed alongside arms alongside things on surfaces that held up before slanting into landings bad landings shaking the turned off head coming to this who said so?  Who said that so hushed as if this head was turned off turned on left on all night forgotten glowing with neon signs facing the back of the eyes facing the back of the head facing the back of the face always facing the about face covered in the mask that is inside out doing the about face always facing the about face within half a mind to about face.
