when no one could tell you in a way that you could use

sometimes i like where you didn't do it the hardest way

will there be a corrected version later

thinking of art that should make a living for someone but does not

did you expect not to be asked why you used that edge

so often wanting to ask why that choice

why you left that part unanalyzed

how the schools justify their selectivity

it could be funny and not reflective of reality

what are you making when it requires so much self

a person who is stuck while overflowing with awareness

it took me three days to think of how to say it without blaming someone specific

did the artist just explain badly what they made to you

probably shouldn't stick up for the contradictions of your friends either

if he is nice he would understand why he was hard to believe

i wanted him to stop saying stupid stuff to me

could the antipathy really have come from being too similar

was that ineptitude or malice

financialized taste and discernment and sensibility

to whom you never meant to be too much but were

barbarism sunday

i suppose i must've responded dully to someone too

not even the artists are showing you the way out of this world

did you think of it as carefully done

does it mean you find it nowhere else

would we talk about where you left holes

the image moves the object to a distance

what i gave the cat to say

what i mean when i say nothing would have to happen

would any artist be known if they hadn't shown up for the rich

i don't see how this [louche] inversion makes an opposite

will he ever undergo a shock of recognition

the sense in which you should and should not tell them

who is your acceptable annoyance

the bland color that is infinite to someone else

could you do the trashy career things and still be good

i kept the heart you sent for a few days

how inevitable was the trace of self

who seems hard to reach [but isn't]

by the hand of a person but at heart the significant concerns are formal

would i like what you added

the parts of you you know not to stick up for

can't blame you for wishing it worked differently

i sort of wish you hadn’t linked your [not helpful] comment back to me

if the mistake had happened less soon

which words fell into your path and which words did you search and search and search

is now before something else

how much of some stranger's dull response to take responsibility for

a bit in love with the random elements you brought into this

that was the sign of me talking myself out of saying something
