"I see." "Said the blind man to his deaf wife, sitting at a round table, trying to find a corner." -Frustrating words from my first girlfriend ~ It's funny how as I age the layers of irony get wiped away while building up again like waves. Stability I crave seems at odds with cosmic horror I face. Weeping with a whole soul or is it laughter? In the intensity "I" tend towards confusion. I mention this to my mother and she knows not of ambiguous sounds. The fusion of emotion suffering in our translation. Do we differ or are we lost; Embracing simulacra while our true selves wander alone? Wondering. The child peeks past a mask or two and gets spooked. Out of love I withdraw inside nativity. I am here with you. Talking to ourselves.
