the word came first

a human being is not 

the calm at the center of the whirlpool

but the whirlpool itself

i.e. a pattern

and a pattern is a message

and I don't know what the f that means

but I do know it's poetry

Corralitos

trying to allow for

the multiple versions of reality

fashion a multi-tool brain

a mobile-esque consciousness

I like to eat with dirty hands

a navel orange off the tree

juice streaking soil up my wrists

sardines on saltines
