crosses the street.

he’s wearing flip flops

and his shirt is open

and untucked.

Grasping life

My nostrils

Kidnap her fumes

Veins thunders choking

And crack

My windshields

Tachycardia is not a word

A laboratory teacher

Explains evolution

Out of a piece of meat

A parasite is born

And so on

An open frog

My neck elongates

Language less journey

Torture circles

Rhythm disoriented

Two metal lightning bolt necklaces

Poke my eyes

I’m not a walking sculpture

I parade through the high school

People clap

Thinking

I’m doing a cutting edge performance

It hurts but I myself know

It looks beautiful

I imagine a red convertible

And pass this note to you

And you become my cheerleader

While photographing a crack on the wall a passerby

approached Miguel Calderon and explained that it was

the result of lightning striking the building. When he

realized that this happened at a soon-to-be-demolished

high school, the necessary equation between image and

thought really made sense: the resemblance between the

crack and a lightning bolt brought recurring images

from his adolescence. A metal sculpture mirroring the

image was installed on the wall, in order to create

a public monument resembling a lightning bolt that

lasted until the school was demolished.
