Alexandra Kleeman Quotes

Standing There Small Among The Boxes Of Kandy Kakes That Rose Like Brownish Cartoon Cliffs Around Him, He Resembled The Videos I'd Seen Of Sea Lions Floating Angelically Among The Kelp, Black Bodies Filmed From Below, Their Shapes Cut Out In Bright Sunlight, Bodies Mistakable For Those Of A Human Being. I Felt The Memory Of A Shadowy Arm Around Me, A Watcher Again, Sitting There On The Couch With My Boyfriend, Watching The Animals Become Prey. Somewhere There Were Giant Whales Feeding On Creatures Too Small To See, Pressing Them Against Fronds Of Baleen With A Tongue The Size Of A Sedan. There Were Polar Bears Killing Seals, Tearing Ovoid Chunks From Out Of Their Smooth, Round Bellies. In The Surrounding Vastness Of The Warehouse, I Heard Something Scratching Against The Concrete Floor And Knew There Were Rats Here, Scraping A Thin Film Of Nutrient From The Dry Packaged Matter That Surrounded Them. Life Was Everywhere, Inescapable, Imperative.
