shape passion tract

who is aluminum eyed and spinning around
seeing with their heart
beating and tattered
rising to come and go in blue sky
spinning around beating
through needless constructs of race sex gender attraction
to fill the room
briefly
booming
laughter

intersecting silhouettes at sunrise
(jonathan borofsky installed male/female in front of penn station in 2004)

insist

you are so virtuous rapid
i dance in you
skating radiofuzz fast fat
pow cold raindrops in windy trees
boom pop warm leatherwood
punching steelwet bricktight
spinning quasar loud and soft you smile
open love melody in changing sky
somersault leaping high
dark spinning arms
round resonating celebration
joyous hissing sweat in cool breeze
bright laughter floating on air
soul washing rhythm congregation
eyes focus
reverberating time and space
layer stepping
shine on everyone
waltz away cancer bullshit
listen respect harmonize read listen just find out
