Take a word and replace it with another word
This is the most miserable place I have known
Take a word and replace it with another word
This is the most miserable life I have known
Take a verb and replace it with another verb
The river swallowed my face my mouth my body my arms
my hands my legs
Take a verb and replace it with another verb
The river loved my face my mouth my body my arms
my hands my legs
Take a noun and replace it with another noun
The authoritative body loved my face my lips my teeth
my tongue he loved me
Take a body and replace it with another body, take a verb and
replace it with another verb
The bureaucrat killed my face my lips my tongue my teeth
he killed me
Take a blank and replace it with another blank
The blank blanked my blank my blank my blank it blanked me
The wrong face might kill you
A certain change might be possible if the wrong face kills you
A certain change might be inevitable if the wrong face doesn’t
kill you
You think you drowned in the river but really it was the city that
killed you
You think you are the body that drowned in the river but you are
dead and you do not get to control the circumstances surrounding
your disappearance
Take a word and replace it with two words
You do not get to have feelings about the circumstances
surrounding your disappearance
Take a body and replace it with another body
I do not get to have feelings about the circumstances
surrounding my disappearance
Take an adjective and replace it with another adjective
I do not get to have feelings about the circumstances
surrounding your disappearance
Take a verb and replace it with another verb, take a noun and
replace it with another noun
You do not get to question the circumstances surrounding
my reappearance
It was a day he knew he would die an unspectacular death in the
river of venomous aloneness
It was a night they knew they would die a spectacular death at
the hands of the paramilitary nationalists who were armed by the
secret police
It was an afternoon they knew they would survive and be forced
to persist in a world where they’d rather be dead
Envy leaked from the mouth and vengeance dripped from the
eyeballs
Petroleum dripped from the teeth and plastic straws were shoved
into the nostrils
He gave his child a kiss on the forehead
He gave the bank a body that once loved him
Parentheses but in reality it was hard to have feelings
Parentheses and in fantasy it was even harder to have feelings
He disappeared unspectacularly into the blank of the
American night
Take a body and replace it with another body
I disappeared unspectacularly into the blank of the
American night
Take a verb and replace it with another verb, take a noun and
replace it with another noun
I bloomed unspectacularly into the debt of the American night
