Manifesto

Manifesto

You can find the statement of the woods

attached, please,

and it is necessary to abide,

if you want to walk in it

with no shoes on at least

for a little while,

at least until the fist cut.

You can find me waiting there,

I’d like to say by the sea

but I know its not true

and that there is no Wifi on the coast

so you probably wouldn’t be able to

join me anyway.

You eat a peach,

(I will find out later on my phone)

and I think of T.S. Eliot,

and the way fuzz grows

on living things.

This is unusual –

typically there is more Internet

typically there are more videos of sharks

and piranhas who will get you.

But we are back in the woods,

and they are represented now

now that they are

we ought to obey.
