damn i like the way you move

body is a tricky thing
and the words catch only a glimpse of it
the numbers as well, yes.
anything paper or screen can capture
it is never the whole flow

no.

i write because you will never see me

dance in the darkness

i would never let you see me 

it is mine private personal special and unique

it is body talking

and behaving

in the not-quite-translatable medium

of place space and time

(usually one digit

always a.m.)

body is a tricky thing

to understand without movement

but also: to grasp without audience

is it not?

yes yes i hear you

anatomy and physiology and endocrinology and the rest of 

all-ogies

[heh, technologies]

you can study it

but only among the other bodies

it gets the power

the drive

the purpose, if you like it

and, the most importantly

the meaning.

i never knew how different i look

until i met my sisters

who looked like nothing

i saw before

i met  the first lot when i was 20

and the rest when i was 28

my tricky thing

plays its tricks on me

like a magician

and it never reveals all of them

and it always picks its audience carefully

and it always leaves the trace of wonder

when it retreats to sleep

and lets the mind take over

like a river to the ocean
