if typed    I would not understand   words   
 
strung out   cut off   Ibid   page numbers   Ibid  
 
790   791   numbers   as in numbing   4.   453    
 
and lossians.1   as in Colossians   an epistle   the C 
 
reversed   made partial   slivered   and 2 Ps   P as in Paul   
 
and Os   red circular fury   crayon or marker    as in zeroes
 
or islands like Haiti   or bodies of apostles     and black 
 
something pressed   pulled away   a handprint of paper     
 
and pale pink like white flesh   and masking tape   beige  
 
cross-outs   as in a cross   and a single phallus     O Painter    
 
you come   with letters and numbers   not wanting me
 
to see   all of what is there   only what could be
