somedays i wish a strange creature would take me away in the middle of the night to a place where i could imagine nothing at all. i would wake and sleep whenever i wished, and the creature would just watch. it would never speak, but it would be understood. i would stay until i couldn’t, until time arrived. i would leave and the creature would wish me farewell with it’s solemn face and closed mouth. i would go back and everything would be nothing all over again. but there would be a change. intimate and infinitesimal. my body would fail one day, but i would have known how to be.
