Excepts from Complete Thought I – XXV

by Barrett Watten

 
I

The world is complete.
Books demand limits.

 

VIII

Worn-out words are invented.
We read daylight in books.

 

XII

False notes on a staircase.
The hammer is as large as the sun.

 
XIX

Nothing touches the surface.
The arbitrary is meant to be sensed.

 

XXIV

Thought remains in the animal.
Each island steals teeth.
