THIS IS WILD—

but—for minute
or more 
back there

sitting down blind-
eyed and tallish
I actually felt

at least
half like a tree—

mostly
in so far as—I had absolutely
no hands

and hence
couldn't even pretend

to apprehend
the world
around me like that.

What a relief!
not to 
reach to be 

part of it—
to be 

in my dumb place
and to know it
as such—I mean, er

no 
not 
at all like that—but

yes, I guess 
you really

kind of 
had to be there—
