CLOUDS MOVE OVER DJ SPINOZA
Clouds move over DJ Spinoza
What are they like
They are not like anything
not even clouds
DJ Spinoza looks at the clouds
with eyes ruined
by the cutting of lenses
The clouds are blurry
Clouds, thinks DJ Spinoza,
belong to the class of things
that are not like anything
In this they are like love
What do you know about love
DJ Spinoza, you lead
a life among furniture
You call this life
You call this furniture
The question dictates the answer
The answer dictates the question
