The anatomy of perception (3)
We think we are playing on ordinary organs when playing upon man. Men are organs, it is true, but odd, changeable, variable, with pipes not arranged in proper order. Those who know how to play on ordinary organs will not produce harmonies on these.
Pascal
I am all mem- brane it’s true
the brain itself is an open wound folded into a fist
skinny? but skin’s at a minimum on someone as thin as me
bony, yes – except this skeleton has been so brutal bruising my starved flesh
back when I was my own demon lover when I wanted to feel nothing- ness
but recovery has turned me out- side in a Möbius strip
I can shut my eyes & read the world’s Braille from within the world
run your fingers down along my spine
do you feel how my whole body blinks?
