would agree that you slayed the part Paul Oatsenfield quoted

write, regurgitate these words. iAm Lord of the puke
help her gag reflex, relax like a gorgeous masseuse
meta-morphine abuse, pain damager, Kevorkian knew
that death is love. theory's incomplete before execution

really love how you let some of these ideas hang, instead of expounding on em.
let em eat cake.

Idk much about cortisol. But it seems to affect the formation/ retrieval of memories? Perhaps this embodies the parallels between preparing to Visit someone, and how that Event exists on so many conceptual planes

Like. "Rhyme orbital loops" seems to me to be key, like you're seeking to illustrate how depictions of things mean something before they're committed to paper, as they're being organized before print, how they mean on a whole years later// to individuals

This proves true in your telling of your visitation... Before it happens, as it happens, afterwards and in reflection, it's something very real even though its hidden under layers of interpretation// perception

Seems cyclical, but is actually linear. Sadly unidirectional.


You leave such a complicated picture it is hard to perceive less than many interpretations

But I like to think this is about our commitment to memory


loved this piece, Mr. Predeceased
