INTERMISSION
by Khashayar "Kess" Mohammadi
ambient in tines of the subway
door closed was the thoughts
we did think. like... how
our friend group is just a
big fucking flap of text of
all we wished over a year to
have truly thought about. like
we did think a lot if parking
lots "Empty"? into what? a field
is only a field. no philosophy
was read on the bus.
*****(((INTERLUDE)))*****
we make beds of ourselves and
watch as heat is dispersed in the
minimal. whichever meanings
fathomed. spread practice thru
it. repeat before next
*****(((INTERLUDE)))*****
where the bed is all that practice
becomes.
