About Me

on the sofas made of bread are seated the dressed and the undressed. the undressed hold leaden swallows between their toes; the dressed hold leaden nests between their fingers. at all hours the undressed get dressed again and the dressed get undressed and exchange the leaden swallows for the leaden nests.
consequently the tail is an umbrella.

I'd like to meet:

She explains how she has loved me for lifetimes through mirror images, which I hate hearing because my lost grasp on reality is still giving me the impression that I am dying. I tell her that I used to be a particularly good dancer, but I never could be a spy.
