Inside story

Dominik Parisien

My body is a spaceship designed to optimize the proliferation and growth of its microbial cosmonauts.
-Adam Dickinson

The myth of body
            is this
impermeable
place
this state
      of being
never porous
when the me
      is almost
wholly
made up
      of others.
