Amalia Tenuta
Red Health
a crucial element of play is harassment
i have been working on my face & my body though completely covered in cockpits
of drill & mist & attack at about certain minutes you can predict
the strategy here on the higher ground is to walk down the ramp
of incessant development together
surrender horse chestnuts ash falling like snow the pylon shell summoned probe
i am describing things that appear to me on a screen i cannot protect the dead from
when we watch men play war games we tell ourselves again & again
a screen is a type of mirror a screen is a type of mirror
cloud custard tinges the base beneath barracks & bio opening
stim de-wormer blazing the forming of databases
we must be reminded of as genomics
at the end of performativity the ringing sun freezing rain
austerity or enlightenment thermomix
the coper skopos sleeping bench beside a power station’s concrete stops
you killing your neighbor
