Death is a monologue? The six-armed woman, the three-pronged stethoscope, killer medical care, house of mourning-before-dying; house of prayer made of sticks. The doctor nurses. The nurse bites.

Oven (A Temporary Setback) (2006)
Sweet love that never stops dying.  Thrown out of one world, the oven-maker’s enlisted in the eternal war of another’s lost love.  Language tries to cut its own belly open, for relief  from gas.  There’s a hair on its tongue, though, and it gurgles ten-thousand names as it tries to recall a word.  Great songs, an opening dance, and the body of money infuriates the body of work.  Who quits?  Walt? [pdf]
