Touching the Ceiling is Touching the Floor, Only from Above
1. It uncurls in your hand like an autumn leaf but fails to recall your happiness.
2. A triangle is the sum of its angles a priori.
3. Leaning on the lens of psychotropics leaves you with restless legs and akithisia.
4. English is employed to spin the ball around the curvature of your armpit.
5. Awaiting close physical proximity makes you worrisome, then anxious for impending contact.
6. It evades your will to stop it, even while it is happening and the door closes and then there are the walls with their shifting yellow wallpaper. It rings a bell inside your soul even when you are wary of its true nature.
7. Spears go through what I had initially thought love was, tearing big holes, enormous wounds with round, blood-red eyes. And then I tidied myself back up from off the floor and made myself a stiff drink.

Care to send me this at A-Minor...Let's take a closer look.
i love this. I don't have to say why which is good because I don't know why! favorite.
It's not that I get it, I just like to read it again and again. fave
I love this, loving science, precision and love, simultaneously ... but I never heard the intersection of them all so perfectly defined. Derived from an original mind.
fave.
Your own comment on this is apposite: love and science and all things precise. That's there in some of the language, eg pts 2 & 3. So ok by me.
It feels spare, philosophical and gentle to me. I love 'Body English.' *
"It rings a bell inside your soul..." --> oomph. That just crushed me.
wow. beautiful *
This is fantastic. I'm glad I found it. Big fav*
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment Jen!!!!!
It rings a bell inside your soul. Yikes! (in a good way..)
Really enjoyed this. It sings and is very sure of itself. Love the feeling and the language.
Unapologetically beautiful work. You get to 7 and it has been a perfect journey.
