being thought
sam picks the peppers off his pizza
his eyes fixed low
he doesn’t want anyone to see him doing this
and think why he didn’t just order something without peppers
he becomes aware of the unnaturalness of the position of his head and eyes
he imagines his head going through the table
the table is salmon pink with a teal square in the middle
he raises his head slightly forcing eye contact with the condiments
he imagines the other tables around the salt and pepper
and the universe around the napkins
he thinks to himself he should have ordered something without peppers
he finds himself being thought
he starts to eat the pizza quietly

distant vomit a boy becomes a hill

water lords
in the underpass
a dragonfly

violet sunset
the farmhouse
as allegory
