[Nudity is our weapon]

Nudity is our weapon.
But words — words are not enough.
I pissed on the man who called me a dog.
There’s a knack to getting what you want.
Rest in between.
Punch when you have to punch.
Until the nineteenth century ‘normal’ was primarily a geometrical term.
I rarely believe anything, because at the time of believing I am not really there to
believe.
Yep, a fetish for invisible people or invisible clothes, or invisible body parts or
some variation.
Do not hesitate to repeat yourself when you consider the point very important.

Gertrude and Emily Dwell in Possibility

I dwell in Possibility
More numerous of Windows;
A single image is not splendor
To shine, why not shine, to shine

Of Chambers as the Cedars
Impregnable of Eye—
The difference is spreading
A place in no new table

And for an Everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky—
An arrangement in a system to pointing
All this and not ordinary, not unordered in not resembling.

Of Visitors—the fairest—
For Occupation—This—
The question does not come before there is a quotation
Certainly glittering is handsome and convincing

The spreading wide of narrow Hands
To gather Paradise—
In the evening there is feeling
All this makes a harmony, it even makes a succession
