To write what is human, not escapist:
that is the problem of the hand moving
apart from the body
Yet, subject is
only pretext for assembling the words
whose real story is process is flow.
So the hand lurches forward, gliding back
serenely, radiant with tears, a million
beings and objects hypnotizing me
as I sit and stare.
Not stupefied. Not aching.
Today I am one. The hand jauntily
at home with evil, with unexamined feelings,
with just facts.
Mike and body, like spikes,
like love and hate, recede pleasantly.
Do not be anxious. The land remembers them.

*I own and profit off nothing in this bizarre hubristic venture. It is a vehicle for expression, education, and artistic play (probably a little bit of a humiliation kink too if we're being honest here lol).
**Hey hey, btw, all those do gooders I link to? They have no idea who I am and have nothing to do with me (and I like it that way). I just think they're neat.
***My sounds and music comes from Epidemic Sound.
