On Learning

[sluice]

Let's learn about gravity
yes, lets
Let's learn of the earth's core let's learn of density.
These things make foundation.
These things are made of compounded memories
Of dreams from when you first started dreaming
Clamped down below your conscious thoughts, we walk on them
The earth,
made of bones and shit and hair and toes.
we walk on them
What is on your altar?
What do you spend your time on in your everyday mind?
What's on your ticker tape?
This becomes the dust you walk on.

Let's learn about light
yes lets
Let's yearn for higher hieghts, let's understand that every moment can't be a perfect 10
let's understand timing
let's know that boredom is an opportunity for art
you wave things over to you, you use your hands and fingers and beckon come here, come here
find the light
find your light
dreams and thoughts, they become even more concrete the older you get
they are fences
the begin as thin threads
and as we learn to live and talk and symbolize
they become brick walls
this makes magic possible; the point at which physical reality touches the total unknown
lights on
lights off
this becomes the life you make

Let's dive between two centers, gravity and light
let's
yes lets
let's let ourselves go with a line tied back
let's take our motherfucking time, for crying out loud
let's hold hands
let's do the absurd to remind ourselves that what our part of the world according to humans has constructed is just figment
just fabrication
it's not law
not really
but then
that's what magic is
making something law that is not
by sheer force of will
and then believing it
until it becomes dangerous not to believe
and then
gravity
and light
can change them
in an instant.
