Machine of my body!
Thank you for waking up today
fully charged, humming and buzzing,
a couple faulty parts
from overuse or exhaustion,
but otherwise in a workable condition
able to move, able to lift,
able to roam, able to bend,
able to skip, able to rest,
your parts even through the rust
are recognizable today.
Thank you for not being
simply put to work,
a machine among machines,
thank you for learning
how to play among things,
for learning how to move-
lift-roam-bend-skip-rest
without fitting into a network,
some hard chain of causes
and outputs, for being the best,
a rather useless, grand,
dependable machine!

A human being-question chasing after both God and nothingness. The internet is a disaster, but our starlessness might teach us something. I welcome our constant experimenting with ourselves with open arms, for ultimately they are attempts of life at living and growing in life. My dwelling is in Key West, while the dwellings of my loves are Indiana, New Mexico, Texas, Massachusetts and Arizona. These spaces are nothing. Love abides and love embraces.

It’s my most universal sense of community I have with other living beings, the way we all pass along so quickly together.
