The Skin Of Strangers
03:54

It’s incredible
the dust in this city
it lays itself thick on the windows
& compresses & compresses
as clear as diamonds
outside on the balcony
at the end of the season
you have to scrub the stuff to come off the concrete
Exhaust of industry
the skin of strangers
it’s strange though
that I grew up next to Main Road
where the cars never ceased passing
from waking to sleep
but I never in my life saw this much dust
All this dust
behind mirrors
& between floorboards
enough skin to fill houses
it weaves through the cracks in the doors
it wedges between the hinges & the opening mechanism
leave a glass of water by the bed overnight
& it forms a skin upon the surface
waking with a cough, you gulp it down
it settles in your body, then spreads out
finds the path of least resistance
& goes there
the fibers break into smaller fibers
& work into the fibers of your brain
there they entangle
& begin influencing things
I came up with an experiment
to make a mold of my body
& fill the negative space
with all the dust I could collect from the apartment
to see how many copies of myself I could manufacture
with science I found on the internet
so that each time I glanced
at a reflective surface
another I might take my place
& in turn
each shard of skin discarded
would be afforded its own agency
I think of all the dust falling like ash on this city
& the lungs full of liquid in the hospitals
& the weird glee with which a god might watch it all unfold
a great ash joke played out upon the people
what a perverse sense of humour
the universe has
I cough up something black
& spit it into a tissue
a small part of being human
