every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

I am docile today & spent it reading Orson Scott Card & later Whitman.
let me recommend both to you,
song of myself has very gradually crept into my mind,
and now I read it and have found Whitman has wrote for me as no other has.
in fact, his being is closer to mine than any being, any soul has come.
maybe we are from the same dirt, ate from the same garden.
(held the same hands, vsited the same graves, saw the same trees and mountains and plains.)
our concept of time is the same,
of life and death.
a million samenesses, none of which belong to me.
but rather us.
his poems are real and good and raw-
relating to them is that
& within him everything has it's place no more than another and
I am in it as you are in it,
in him, of him.
of the world, the universe, a wind, a root, a blade of grass, a song
a song of myself.
I belong to his poems as they belong to me
and space and time.
nothing more nothing less
and I feel that.
