KNOCK 1.2

Within Earshot

The sending of a handwritten letter is a terrorist act so I will email this to you as parcels continue over water in the sky over countries with people's lives below the rigors of recalling this are exhausting so they will be denied and left to chance the great equalizer no one wakens fromt his immersion it whistles down the street an apple core its seeds showing sheer talent unmasked then disrobed remembered with the accuracy of bees seeking perfect ingredient a tunnel really conduits really directing the flow of it a compromise between the finch the perch and every available place a cracking smile cracked becomes a place to land young breathing tyrant of the impossible holds a facsimile traced in every way except for one and that would wooden carved reverent protracted focus engrained will be embalmed given half a chance the great equalizer a totemic novel we look up at as in tall people giant concerns we get cornered into toward several locations a grid a pawn travels over water the match concludes while tow more yet prepare for dance and its coordinates to chine twice now that the excursion softens and find it nearer than ever before stations between stations a toggle switch thrown disarray thrown into sewn into a rush of upheaval a sonic cavalcade units of it deny it a pleasure denied the blocks it blocks the electric servant the language servant drawn and written in magnified print the peaks capped in deep antennae the carousel tossing smitten smitten breathless collapsible lung folded up and portable walking away walks away away removed away.
