(BTW - can you also include some keywords for the socials?)
What are my key words? Where are my key words? How do they intra-act?
Socialise? Can I use them to make meanings? with clarity? for you? or do they
have other ideas in store for us? My meanings are unlike your meanings but
like them too. My moon is like unlike like your moon but like enough? to
resonate? Close enough to touch? To intra-act but not so close we will
collapse. Again. After. Before. Later. Remember. Soon. Imagine I’ll ask
you to imagine. I’m asking you to imagine now cut into the present right now
now the future already again past again we try to attend constructing
slivers of meaning cut now cut now cut from with in the in-determinacy.
We map the flight lines of our migration that dotted line after before later
remember imagine just a disturbance in the underlying resonance we listen for
the relations in chance the baffle of blurbells that should have been bluebells or
should it? This co-incidence holding meaning dearly letters intra-acting in
the mind on the tongue in the air the inscape of sounds slipping the inner
tension patterning form wavering into a key note key words finding their
synchronicity down by the creek creaking the trees ringing gently red sticks for
hands. Imagine. Again. Soon. Remember before I said I was trying to be
clear but words are so slippery down by the creak speaking it’s not entirely their
fault just mostly just mossy down in the substrate with in the entanglement
of co-incidence are there ever any accidents?
