"Visits."
"Thomas puts his hand into the open wound between conception
and object, the local.
News reports an Escondido woman has
filled her home with upwards of 1,000 statuettes of Lady
Liberty.
It is from this wound that humans first emerged.
Many believe that authorities conspire to convince them,
they are each alone and are not being visited,
that an orifice is not being probed by mysterious intention.
As if these narrow shady steps lined with well
trimmed bushes lead nowhere."
