As were its own

How’s the room

Outside the storm

Of movement, the horse

Upside down in the tree

The room is part of the room

When together when

We neighbor each

Past, song

Numberless iteration
In a different room

In every movement
Make it up

To one another: skin
To skin: speak

When is this time
This time forward

Is there a cue
For starting

Eva while she is working

papered on the wall

Bill while Eva is working

papered on the wall

Music past partition

Eva working on the wall

Anna says the Project

Eva working on the wall

Claire types on the table

Eva working on the wall

Call me on the line

adjusting paper on the wall

Bill with push pins

Eva  working on the wall

Anna says the Project

Eva pushes on the wall

Eva while she is working

papered on the wall

I’m just

coming back

…………………..from Atlantic City

where I lost a bundle

Anna says

Here we are

Intimacies in the Port Authority

Metabolical forces

will connect the dots

with the shadow

force you have going here

either the force was working with me

let the shadow I

want to inform you of something

work with the shadow

second Nostradamus

work the shadow

We are not the same

Movement

We differ

each other

Because today

I decided on the next train

Same dance different

meaning we inflect

each other

We go into

The dance changes

our movement

This same dance

This grammar

we have

We dress like regular people

Back up a little more.  Drop your paper where
it was.  Where you had it before.  What I would do
I would flip it around.  Spread your feet a little
more.  Don’t blink.   Hook your thumb in your
pants.  Don’t blink.  Spread your feet
a little more.  Drop that paper.  Stay right there
don’t blink drop your head drop your paper
a little bit flatter.   Change
your arm position here.  Spread your feet
a little more.  Lean more
towards me.  Lean straight
into me.  Cross your
arms.  Pull down your shirt.  That’s more
chin up, don’t
blink.  Drop the hand with paper down
don’t blink.  Try the head
the other way a little.  Drop your chin
spread your feet a little
more.  Lean over your shoulder towards
me a little bit.  Tilt your head
that way now.
Turn the other way and
try.  Let the paper hang straight
down.  Come back straight back
around.  Don’t move
grab the paper.   We can’t read it.  Fix your shirt tilt
head a little more apart.  Don’t
blink.  Chin up a little.  I need to find
something this camera wants to focus on.

I’ve got gray, black, and white.
I’m on the top center point
close to the skin and the gray.
Move your hand.
Head straight up and down, chin up
a touch.  Move your hand, let me
see a little finger.  Break at the waist
towards me.  Now
hold it, head
tilted.  Relax a second looking
at the camera.  Or
the paper wrapped around
her leg.  Flat like that.  Ninety
degrees.  That looks a little too
opposite.  You can barely
read what’s written.
