Can the body be here and now?
Sometimes another persons’ radiation is like the H Bomb.
Instant aging, unavoidable infidelity.
Shifting of the horizon through friction; and in spite of it.
Walking down our own evolution and retracing our steps.
Living “ahead of time”, as if such a thing were possible.
Experiencing wisdom we know is not ours.
Repeating the unrepeatable.
Layers of gauze, which provide consistency; rigidity; numbness; repertoire.
They don’t however, mount up; nor are they hollow.
They penetrate, but they’re not material.
They coexist and are diverse; yet they can also become indistinguishable.
We possess them and they possess us in return.
Can the body be here and now?
Thank God for our skeleton!
