(no subject)
i have been riding my bike all around the city, composing poems in my head. i am afraid of poetry because i know nothing about it. i know words, sometimes, but nothing of form or meter. i would very much like to take a class on poetry.
instead, i am taking a class on math and a class on chemistry. each has rhythm, composes its own poetics.
for the first time, last year, i felt squeamish thinking about the independent movements and functions of my cells. my body isn't my own if i'm not aware of what's happening inside, i thought. but now, zooming from the microscopic to the particulate level, i feel a peace spreading. i like being mostly quantized empty space. i like being mostly water. i like being miraculous, electric-impulse-powered, soft and seeing.
