Do you truly eat a steak each week?
I wonder how it feels
to be twinned out of nothing
at the same time, all the same
molecules as I, all my foes,
all the strangers in all the stores,
and the geese and squirrels we
may not even consider as people.
How do you survive a world like this
where all things are separate together,
where I can just uncross my legs
take off my socks, stand up
from the chair, leave the ground
far below and chooseto be in space and choose
to enter the atmosphere again
of another body or see how alone
I can be.
How could one live without dying
(can't be done) die without aliving
(can't be done) inhale without
knowing what may come next
Have u mapped all the germs
you may be acquainted with? Do
you have one of those gorgeous maps
on your wall
do you take it with you when you go?
oh! this has such a fun pulse to it even in asking some big melancholy q's. love the geese and squirrels, the uncrossed legs, the socks, the germs, the gorgeous maps ... so good
