episodes of transformation, by Andy Izenson
I: trust
how does one listen to the body? are these eyes
still the same eyes? what was it like before,
really?
II: limits
where lies the threshold? what
is a quantum of change? is it a double take?
it is like waking up, swimming towards the surface,
or the jolt of a missed stair?
III: failure
the moment that it becomes inescapable
is the moment when something that always held
first begins to break.
IV: audience
test reality. overlay perceptions
like cobwebs
on the upturned palms of lovers.
V: data
observe inputs. observe outputs.
when identical stimuli produce
different results,
you will know.
VI: space
wait.
how does venom seep away?
perhaps there is only an answer
in the past tense. wait.
