Andre Brenton's poem 'There's No Way Out of Here' deprived of references to love and also with the word raft changed to fart

Liberty the human color
What mouths will fly to pieces
Roof tiles
Under the thrust of this monstrous vegetation

The sun a setter dog
Leaves the stoop of a fancy town house

Slow blue chest where the heart of time beats

Stream of stars
Who washes away the punctuation marks of my poem and those of my friends
You mustn't forget that in drawing lots I won liberty

The explorer grappling with the red ants of his own blood

Right to the end it's the same month of the year
Perspective which allows us to judge if we have to deal with souls or not

19...An artillery lieutenant is waiting in a trail of gunpowder

as everyone knows

In otherwords the world that won't exist

O superimposed windowpanes of thought
In glass earth skeletons are stirring

Everyone's heard of the fart of the medusa
And could if it came down to conceive of any equivalent of that fart in the sky
