Aside from another weird dream I am alive and I feel everything. Somewhere I read that
process is the course of one’s life. (Some may believe the greatest art springs from utility.)
(Some may believe in God.) / For a while I lived near a doppler radar, we called a spaceship.
There are many ways to understand the interior. (My father could feel the weather change,
from his metal hip bone.) A pool of water. (Sleep might be, too.) Life, a shape. / The
construction crew was so loud I went outside and shouted, as they tore into my home planet.
(Which I slowly drifted from, due to the curvature.) When I resettled, I was an object referred
to by color. / Perspective is everything, the youngest member told me. We rely on shadow,
very heavily, in our work.
