Finally, I have come to think of frogs as emblematic of that relationship -- that I barely understand -- between the mysteries of the transfer of life from one generation to the next and our irrevocable, necessary commitment to the use of nuclear energy. This association of images is ambiguous for me; I do not know how it started, nor whether I should trust it. I suspect that, like other preconceptions about biological "facts," it defies explanation and can be stated only as an admitted bias for whatever facts there are to be discovered.

it's like life

obliquity of the ecliptic (rrrobyn), Friday, 13 August 2010 20:37 (thirteen years ago) link

she makes a double life
she makes a perfect system every day
she makes it work
she stands there in the doorway of her mothers house
looking at the grass and sky and at where they meet
never once thinking thoughts like
it's so like a line
or, the difference is so powerful
or, which way shall I take to leave
My mind turns to my breath, one.
My mind watches my breath, two.
My mind turns and watches my breath, three.
My mind turns and faces my breath, four.
My mind faces my breath, five.
My mind studies my breath, six
My mind sees every aspect of the beauty of my breath, seven.
My mind watches my breath soothing itself, eight.
My mind sees every part of my breath, nine.
My breath is not indifferent to itself, ten.

She never thinks of possibility
or of how probable it is that they have come together
those thoughts never enter her mind
nor do thoughts of sports
she has no desire to improve her muscles
for her, piano playing is the only mystery
it's so beautiful, and how they do it no one knows.

The church forbids its angels entry there

she is earth
we are the sun
people are gathered in the backyard
this is the celebration of the changing of the light
they do it as often as they can in summer
