Nonkilling 3 | The Anteroom | False Skull 1

A body can make you think that

Colors obtain in things

Like Maggie Nelson said:

"the color

Inside of the"

Can I feel nostalgia for

A death I will never know?

The silence of silence;

This is all

That I've ever wanted

When I woke up in the tub

Invisible wrecked ships

Circled around my head

A voice

Screamed:

"You wouldn't want it –

If you could see the pain in the anteroom"

You wouldn't applaud it

Nothing on this side was built for you"

And now you're laughing –

Would you laugh when they play it all back

And in the movie of your life

You only speak in one scene?

And when the door opens, you say

"I've been thinking about it my whole life long"

And when they ask you what you mean

Your lips are moving

But the mic's not on...

Thought it was a pool of blood

But then when the camera stopped

The whole thing evaporates –

A voice with no body shouts:

"The money has all run out

What we used to call a job

Is now handled by machines

You can die in peace"

"You wouldn't want it –

If you could see the pain in the anteroom

You wouldn't applaud it

Nothing on this side was built for you"

And now you're laughing –

Would you laugh when they play it all back

And in the movie of your life

You only speak in one scene?

And when the door opens, you say

"I've been thinking about it my whole life long"

And when they ask you what you mean

Your lips are moving

But the mic's not on...

What have you been trying to say?

Is this a joke or some kind of mistake?

No one's counting

The days

Until your whole

Little body

Becomes

Even less

Than decay
