words on paper i can't find the meaning in them. maybe it's more that i don't know anymore what to say or think or anything other than to just be still and watch without thinking. there are a lot of things listed in the making. true. but none as exciting as it seems. complete. satisfying. I couldn't tell you if that's what is happening I imagine tiny rooms behind whose doors great machines whir and click and tap out information the sound overwhelming if one is opened. But here, in the center, the mind is calm, muffled, almost numb. I sit in the carpeted hallway. The walls brown. doors closed against the sounds. One will open when I need something. Warm. Sun streams down. My back captures the beam throwing my shadow against the floor in sharp relief. Dust motes fall. Don't stir. Breathe. Sit quietly. Don't think. That's the way. Calm. The waters are calm as the sun sinks. fade
