binary code does not make reality / language does not make reality

individualism or collectivism, two binary choices represented & defined by the English language they can be understood in. when you reach out to someone you see crying to comfort them, what is that? when you move yourself away from the noise someone else is making because you are overstimulated, what is that? when you move yourself closer to feel their warmth, what is that? when you hear someone laugh, what is that? 

in your memory, not in the trap you call your mind, where you hold all the English words. it's something beyond/within/without/withall/above/under/behind language

"If anyone wonders how Jesus raised the dead, don't try to explain the miracle. Kiss me on the lips. Like this." - Phillip Glass, Monsters of Grace

"I love the world and if I have to sue for custody, I will sue for custody. Stand on your own head for a change, gimme some skin to call my own." - They Might Be Giants

praying to everything wiser than i

am that the words don’t fall away

into the resounding

ocean

of

sleep and silence and mess and

violence and i am left with nothing

other than your favorite three words

to express the feeling in them and

other more

expansive

and more

descriptive

words

w o r d s

of which “word,” “words” are two of, 

and language falls in on

itself and then away and into the

ocean where there can never be

enough left over after feeling,

meaning, has been run through
