i. correlation


She gave me an envelope of outdoor voices:


this year's blood tests in chromakeyed blue.
She said, you don't have it. Not lupus.
Or chronic fatigue, lyme disease.
You'll have to come back soon, she said,


because science doesn't befriend the lonely.
I lost the envelope and trembled against
the fridge for half an hour, believing to feel
the bone marrow sliding under my needle skin.
Freak me the fuck out. Slipping into desperation.


Finding the statistics climbing up the walls.


I'm not ready to find out.




ii. causation


this automation mechanism is only speculative;
life and death are two cosmic mutations
Day 12.


Overdone.
Need to sleep

Damn idiopathy. Or else that other thing. Incredible work.
