This is what I will be doing, come Monday December 8, 2008, for 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week. This is like telling a man in prison, that if he turns his bed on it's side, he can use it to do pull ups, so don't worry about not being able to go for a run. Though come to think of it, even prisons have gyms. On Monday I will become an industrialized worker, who performs only 1 task in a system of tasks, rather than being a holistic contributor to all aspects of the goals of my Agency. I watched a movie last night whose main character was from Greenland, she had grown up in the vast expanses of snow and landscape--her idea of Hell was to be enclosed. I thought about quitting the job I have not yet started. I decided to hold out and see how it actually feels.

She said that the first week, her eyes were constantly bloodshot, and every hour her body felt so restless. Now, her eyes have adju...

Here, in my room, i'm surrounded by my beautiful things, in a time of war, i'm surrounded by my purple and yellow dried corn wombs, watercolor paintings from my grandmother, painted wooden boxes, carved seed jewelry, a warm hoodie, my holy books, I'm going to get up now and make ...

El Apice

al àpice de raìces enredadas estoy y de la estirpe humana como tù soy yo, Nuestros cuerpos cifrados son, de nietos todavìa no nacidos la boca de eva y adàn y la faz del primer hombre que buscò alimento para que nacieramos. del àpice de las raices vivas me volvi A construir una fènix ofrenda piràmide a Dios frotarme ampollas nuevas intentarè para que se rescucitaran los àtomos de siempre Dia y noche intento descifrar los codigos de mi sangre buscando en mis manos la fe y las ampollas de los que construyeron Teotihuacàn: mis huesos, glifos de mèdula de un luchador rendido que en el fùnebre crepùsculo de su entierro habìa una luz trèmula de mi presente la chispa de la luz de nuestro giro incesante por el eje eterno. (Y sigamos en busqueda del pasado y del advenimiento.)
