Twenty things

1. you can talk during this.
2. there's something wrong with my robot.
3. and we've nothing better to do with the money now - it's good to be able to live well - that's the main thing isn't it?
4. fuck i hope this shit's good.
5. this building is getting louder / its clicks and hums and whirrrs are becoming more intrusive and at night, lying awake in my bed, i can feel its weight oppressive above me; crushing, petulant.
6. i know i'll never remember / your terminal eyes / & benign smile in a coming dawn.
7. am keen on a phone thing, am not so good at talking to myself when i know other people are listening.
8. you look very nice in your uniform.
9. ...hello son...this is your mother...over...
10. the tape on the end of my brush will paint the sounds i hear in my head. my soundtrack to your film is almost done. soon i will learn to fly.
11. but would we ever want to do this?
12. love stench rep (anagram).
13. tell this machine i'm not a machine.
14. i'm sniffing at my hand {...rank odour of service-station pie...} and when I inspect them my fingers are marked too with blood.
15. why do you do it son? eh? eh? do you enjoy making your mother cry?
16. that's the trouble with potted ferns. leave for a week, two, w/out water+light, they die. grey through green turns slowly brown and fades softly. wilt.
17. i've got a full moon in my pocket.
18. a lap dance is better when the stripper's crying.
19. i lost my place on your answerphone. look where it led me. there's a light streaming through my bedroom curtain and i've nowhere left to hide.
20. you don't know me but i know you.
