intentions, they sometimes get the better of me, such that my automatic, lie-down attitude, sees. sees me standing here: searching, desiring the vastness of the open sky (and beyond), yet: at each point of involuntary contact, i find myself embracing the ground, and during this disjointed, increasingly frantic (often disassociated) illusionary dance, i sometimes glimpse the shadow of such unknown wonders, brush their shape with open hands, before blindness claims me once more. such mini discoveries (or mini-delusions to the minds of some) keep open the bud of childlike wonder, starving off decay, and total submersion within the blindness of societal preconception.
