in the night, the voices return:
two images of human happiness stare at each other,
as through a two-way mirror.
1. taking snapshots of happy beach-side days, the human being, or family
sits before the great mother's oceanic body, relaxing in a vision of surfaces.
what is there to do but bathe in a four billion year old enigma?
2. fascism. all things return to both violence and organization, the body
relaxing in a vision of surfaces. when sympathetic cells reach their peak
organization, their energy continues on as culture, literature, or violence.
in the day, the voices retract.
cars move upon the road.
towels lay wet in the basin.
