I am never anywhere
\nAnywhere I go
\nWhen I\u2019m home, I\u2019m never there<\/div>\n
Long enough to know

<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\n<\/br><\/p>\n

you are forty-one when you take a trip with your mom<\/div>\n
to the place she grew up
\nso different than yours
\nyou are reminded
\nthat just being
\nis enough
\nready
\nopen
\nhere<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
you were six years old when you had your first watch<\/div>\n
checking obsessively the passing of time
\nfrom any given moment to the next
\nelasticity
\nwaiting\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 one minute\u00a0 =\u00a0 \u00a0 one hour
\nfun \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 one hour \u00a0 \u00a0 = \u00a0 \u00a0 one minute<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

the theatre reminds you of this<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

you wonder what you actually practice
\na lot of\u00a0 \u00a0 sitting\u00a0 \u00a0 email always email\u00a0 \u00a0 watching<\/div>\n
present\u00a0 \u00a0 permeable
\nbut you\u2019re just not there right now
\nyou are stuck
\nhow long it will take<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

that moment\u00a0 \u00a0 before something is about to happen<\/div>\n
where anything is\u00a0 \u00a0 still \u00a0 possible
\nin between
\nthis is where you are
\nstuck<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

you still savor that moment<\/div>\n
prepare for it
\nbe ready to receive
\ncrave
\nthat feeling when
\nfirst time\u00a0 \u00a0 again\u00a0 \u00a0 and again<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

your cells move
\nlike a boat that replaces parts at every port
\nnothing \u00a0 everything
\nis the same<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

but being there is not the same as being<\/div>\n
present<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

that moment is in between
\nit is a place you know\u00a0 \u00a0 have always known\u00a0 \u00a0 how do you know<\/div>\n
and so you stay there<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

don\u2019t get distracted
\nbecause how could you be present<\/div>\n
the song stuck in your head
\nthe grocery list
\nthe name(s) of your imaginary cat(s)
\nthe petty little grievances
\nget out<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

what is this body\u00a0 \u00a0 in this space<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

ingat\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/i>they say
\nshe said\u00a0 \u00a0 you take care
\ndo not forget me\u00a0 \u00a0 he said<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

breathe\u00a0 \u00a0 in and out
\nfeel \u00a0 \u00a0 the ground
\nbut jet lag\u00a0 \u00a0 always the jet lag<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

ingat<\/i>\u00a0 \u00a0 the word that wakes you<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

do not look at your watch
