To think—I am now sitting
thoughtless
in the same kitchen
in which I
will have been standing
then
after I have deciphered
my very next words.
*
These strange loops
and chickenscratch x's
may take on a prescient significance
as imperceptibly
as a snail
secreting its shell.
*
After the frame
is in place,
it's so difficult
to remember
It hasn't always been like this.
with the nostalgic stillframed past?
Looking back,
even every failure and deficiency
was just so easy,
so precious,
so perfect.
