THE LEOPARD AND THE GOAT

to let you know
that i think you are perfect
i call you up late one night
when i know you are sleeping
and talk at length
about your imperfections

as i listen to you listen
as i talk
i know
how glad you must be right now
that we never have to pretend differently
again
that your faults and your inability
of pertaining static properties
is really the root
of us
ever changing into someone
we will not be afraid to lose
into someone we never have to be again

as i listen to you listen
as i accentuate the force
of our agreeable non-agreement
by telling parables of how a bicycle
can never retain the same wheels once
they are changed
or how a government can never reconstitute
the vigor of the ideas it was originally founded upon
once it is in decline
you decide to prove your love to me
some 5-10 minutes ago
by having already
quietly hung up the phone

when history grows stupendous/
we shall climb into her/ this other
history/ like a celebratory
infestation/

with no movements/
or actions/
a cluster of arms/
holding on to a cluster of bodies/
ourobourically dissolving each other/
in an endless series/ of final
embraces/

nothing to annihilate/ but annihilation/

a new skin will cover our fingers/ legs/
chest/ head/ until all is coccoonified/

when we burst/ our new skin/ will travel/
down every branch of the family tree/
and erect a statue at the roots/ free
of commands/

my new skin/ i see it as a sail/ is strung
between the unfinished framework/ of two
neighboring buildings/ where
i inhabit the one/ and soon
the other

ATTACK OF THE PACT

having finally finished my reading of Deleuze/ I sat down
on a patch of exterminated cockroaches/ and waited for Deleuze
to finish his reading of me
