Third eye woman

the seeing of course is metaphore; it is a porosity
it is not on a single plane it is multifocal it is with
and from all directions all sensations mediated with&
with in from the webs of our biomes it is a sympoiesis
yes that, it is dendritic it is our tendrils it is a within and a
without it is an over all overall it is boundless and bound to
the all and nothing it is an an allowance and allowing an open
ing unto a listening a gleaning a discerning an amazement a ferocity
it is not a beauty to behold in the human way of under taking a beauty
to have or to hold it is not single minded it is everything all at once;
it is a sounding of the sound of tides and moons in the eternal
dancing of ebb and flow of waxing and waning of life and
death

as it turns out I didn’t in the end bind the pieces I couldn’t bring myself to bind, to make stationary, to render them inert, though I did capture them or gather them is a better way of looking at it since they are still free to fly apart & open to as is, their intention perhaps toward the dynamic of disorder or out of or in order and being ordered arbitrarily and in fact by different measures: the first the autobiographical strings of words printed on those crumpled stressed pieces of nonarchival not acid free newsprint, and secondly the framework of words gathered from the ongoing conversation about among other things finding a the word for aging, and since there was an order it seems in order, or orderly, to have the ordering frames of reference added to the folder and now I am wondering if as a whole gathered in its folder if it needs some sort of latching mechanism or more importantly an act that stipulates freeing from or free of the format of form, that allows another choice; ordains choosing

how it happened; it happens

it happens with hours of conversation with the
words we use over and over and under and through and taking note of making note of it starts with
hours of conversation and paper and pencils and writing down words that we use over and over in conversation and making note of them and how we use them over and over again in conversation only

only to realize that words being used over and over again change over time in time with time through time
we live in time
