so you’ve come back to hear this bird sing its song again not sure what you’ve come here expecting tried to figure out the simplest solution but I don’t even have the time tried to figure out the best way to live I wanted to share it with you but all I’ve found is wind blowing through the tall grass and all you’ve found is my voice so you’ve come back to hear this bird sing its song again

i took out my acrylic paints & painted eyes on the tea kettle … nice to look at… …good to be seen… the tea kettle, over there on the stove me, over here on the couch (no walls between us easy eye contact) sometimes i boil the water in the tea kettle just to hear the sound: the tea kettle & i tell stories to each other we whistle each other into existence i took the shower curtain off the shower so i can see the whole bathroom: no way anyone can sneak in i hear sounds no one else can hear except for maybe the mice who live in the walls if i fear i’ve gone crazy does that make this house a mental institution? (or does it make me crazy for deciding it is?) or is a mental institution not defined by the state of the people within it but rather by the group delusion that involves the patients the doctors the administrators the janitors & the groundskeeper? today the whistling of the tea kettle sounds a little more somber; not the pitch, but something about the tone (maybe a little weaker a little more raspy) two eyes meet mine ...if only the mice in the walls could confirm...
