squat over pond
green water

     The self is a crease
     in the fabric of
     meaning.
     Okay?

     Okay,
     the crease is
     the fabric of the
     self.
     Meaning?

The fabric. The fabric.
The self. The self.
It’s okay.
Meaning’s increase.
Meaning’s increase.
Meaning’s increase
It’s okay.

The meaning is a fabric
in the crease of the self.
The self is okay.
It’s okay.
We’re okay with that meaning.

No self is no crease
not in the fabric
of no meaning.
It’s not okay.

The self is not meaning
The fabric is okay.
Crease and crease.
Okay the fabric.
The selfing is mean.
It’s fab.
