The whole world is all there is all

all I remember is a sign post and an iron wall, a phone booth without a phone and a yellow school bus going by between two other yellow school buses Head Aches              after Giacometti to maintain a head alive after it is severed in a frame head the perfect living head (bronze, plaster, paints) heads pencilled and erased, tense, effaced, tense backward beginning with the line, beginning with the erased line. just heads the same just heads maintained alive by hands now dead heads maintained alive by hands *** In the snow, the focal point is always several pieces of dog shit.
