"You hear though you do not understand / you are an eavesdropped / an interloper / you're at a door and you weren't invited to cross the threshold / and you wait outside and listen to the voices on a tilt / to the language not yours."
"Of course you would have inherited this shifting body / and what else have you inherited / what else comes down to you through your body / your body which is how the universe knows itself / how the divine knows itself through you"
"and if the body is a conduit of the universe and there are holds of the body then where in the body is the event horizon / where in the body are we eradicated"
"but before I was closed I was an opening with no escape / which is called a DEFECT and a CONGENITAL DISORDER / which requires repair and correction / which is a disruption and a deviation and a misbehavior of the body / which should always be closed and always whole at birth."
"for a hole reminds us that we are fragile and susceptible to a great crushing and collapse first and foremost / we must control the uncontrollable body to disinvite death but here is a problem: death is in the body anyway all of the time and there is no control for that"
"their bodies disabled or disordered / their bodies uncontrollable in many ways and each of these a way to recieve the universe"
"we assume that we would die inside of any black hole but what if we sometimes survive and what would we find there in the survival abyss"
"if you touch me my body will speak to you but you will have to be open to a new kind of speaking and you will have to also open yourself and you will have to listen with care"
"This is suffering and it is not suffering / this is painful and it is not painful / there is only suffering in what we make UNORDINARY / in the ABNORMAL / the DEFECT / there is only suffering in how it might be and how it could be if only it were like that or that or that / there is only suffering in the vacuum that exists around good enough where nothing but perfection may exist / if a DEFECT is real it is only real in that vacuum"
"If the body wants to be open could you let it be open / could you let it be / for remember there is grace in letting a thing be itself / or would you revile the opening / would you shun or disgust or run from the widening hole / or would you sit at the edge of the whole / sit and listen and not flee"
