The exquisite conquering through repetition. The perfecting practice through repetition. The withholding of release through repetition. The losing of teeth through repetition. The rhymes and rhythm through repetition. The solemn stasis through repetition. The floor through repetition. The losing your mind through repetition. The retooling of days through repetition. To technique the things through repetition. Drunk on ambition through repetition. Habits don’t slip through repetition. All week long, through repetition. To degenerate to syllables through repetition. The clown of the masculine muscles through repetition. The anxiety of awareness through repetition. The second Monday of October through repetition. It would be nice, through repetition. Instructions for people through repetition. Dinner, the favorite meal, through repetition. The sobbing out innocence through repetition. Theories of morphology through repetition. The lack of value through repetition. The way things are through repetition.The tangible vanity through repetition. The recognition of disorder through repetition. The pressures of assimilation through repetition. The cleaning, through repetition. The city in mourning, through repetition. The cruelty of form through repetition. The everything astonishment through repetition.


And then tomorrow, through repetition.
