I think about
the veil most
of us
live
under.
the one
that seeks to
distance us
from
the ugly,
brutal,
severe directness
of the cold scales
of survival.
-we are not so far
removed.
the 9 to 5
the supermarkets
the advertisements
the entertainment
the gas stations
the toilets
the dinnerware
the morning talk shows
the sidewalks
the right angles
the hot showers
the doors
the locks on the doors
...
it all adds
to the illusion
of
exception.
they're all
jumping
monkeys clamoring
to distract
and
avert.
this man-made
cacophony is
a powerful
hypnotic
and we
succumb
to our own
enchantments
quite easily.
I lost
sight of the
sun below the h
orizon. I had t
oo many que
stions to ask before the earth came between us. and now the night
reminds me that she never left.
mute music
magic mother
I
see
you
