Define life, God, sunlight from Hendy Lane.

How many milliliters of breath until lungs crumble? Define

esophagus, the number. How many centuries

in a vocal chord? In voice, in generational vibration?

Define the man who speaks in philosophical aerosols I can’t

quite grasp them…not even metaphorically. How many

fingers in understanding? In metaphor?

Define everything intangible to make it tangible, feel all weight

pressing gravity through skin, threading the palms.

Define skin & protection. Everything

needing some sort of insurance.

How many cents in safety? Define questioning,

thinking...my philosophy that we don’t

need definitions.

Perhaps that’s deflationary...or the opposite of it. Define

deflationary. Can you put a number on it?

Define number. What’s the number for “number”?

How many in many? How much in too much?

Define good measurements & bad measurements.

Define it all, good & bad. Define mercy, evil,

neutral, balance...all of us stuck here

& only our good God knowing. Define knowledge.

Define prediction, prophecy, perfection.

How many grams in a hypothesis?

How many miles until the future?
