IN OTHER WORDS

In other words it's as before undoing what has been done so that it needs to be done again in other words repeated so as to put another nature over the last one and call it something else while it has an odor that questions work and home in other words something else has landed on the desk in other words fallen out of someone else's back door onto the desk in other words on the bed been in the pillow digging deep into the right ear left ear in other words in other directions in other words didn't read the directions on the other hand in other words the same hand the one that does the job when bathrooms are somewhere else in the same location a few more times will do it until the cat and its contortions bring with them images of vomited fur balls in other words amputated hands just the hand the same hand the one that does the job when bathrooms are somewhere else in the same location shower curtain fantasy theater closed due to complications in other words deleting all those items deleted before in other words it's as before undoing what has been done so that it needs to be done again in other words repeated so as to put another nature over the last one and call it something else while it has an odor that questions work and home in other words something else has landed on the desk in other words fallen out of someone's else back door on the bed been in the pillow digging deep into the right ear left ear in other words in other directions in other words or the same words digging for clues digging for what was buried digging in the sand at the beach until the sand becomes darker is that where she was is that where she was seen walking by like a brush stroke in a painting one brush stroke that somehow set things right for getting off course in other words it was off course from that point on in other words more off course than the deflection that curved sharper with every breath in other words the texture of the brush stroke in other words the dress she wore in other words the way the waves of the brush stroke rose and fell along her body and collapsed the most deeply into her eyes where it could all end and just ended up collected in a sink drain in other words green and orange in other words peas and carrots in other words little cubes in other words of existence in organic living spaces hewn into tiny little spaces in other words where a face once thought beautiful was soft and blurry and awkward with self-conscious in other words not one's own words from mouths that obscured eyes where everything could descend where it could all end and just collected in a sink drain lying there as a face once beautiful changed into someone else's telephone poles in other words tall thin towers dug deep into the corners of eyes blinking with mucus for suppuration that goes unanswered in other words back on track to follow along the cracks in the mind knocking on the forehead with a fist emptied of questions no point just knocking on the forehead to check on the growing number of cracks in the mind knocking sometimes on the skull above the left ear in other words right ear in other directions without directions dosages too large in words too small to read knocking on the skull checking on the growing number of cracks in the mind in other words checking if anyone is still home or work in other words an odor no longer making one question when fists have been emptied of them as they knock in other words repeating things as to put another nature over the last one and call it something else in other words it needs to be done again things need to be done again in other words it's as before undoing things that have been done.
