“(I want my work)

to taste like the first pretzel out of a freshly opened bag

look like the unfocused dark shapes you see while running at night

feel like the way my father held a tomato in his hand before he ate it

smell like the pillow I’ve slept on every night

walk like it’s going to reach someone on time

sleep like it’s dreaming of a big green housestop when it starts rambling”
