from A Monologue for Voices & President Letters

 

I am not with Kathryn.
(I am with Kathryn's typewriter.)

The typewriter she gave me.
(I bought the ribbon.)

And the ring.
(I don't know what I am feeling.)

I feel the act of feeling.
(Some call them “my feelings.”)

Yesterday's feelings were felt.
(I can smell the orange as it dissolves.)

There is no past tense to feeling.
(It does not dissolve, but particles of the orange are constantly within and away from the space in which I have placed the orange.)

I feel stupid when I tell my friends about our fights and then about how I am “feeling much better.”
(My feelings may not be the same as your feelings.)

I feel like watching a movie.
(I want to watch some people imitate other people.)

Other people's actions.
(And feelings.)

I don't know if Kathryn will contact me.
(I don't know if I will contact her.)

I don't want to do “this” again.
(Not like that.)

I don't want to fight so much.
(The “hold shift” key comes right back up.)

I am thinking about specific things.
(Not my rules.)

“That” rules.
(Jack said, “I'm sorry, man.”)

I type.
