I knew you. Didn’t I? Naked in that

open field, unhidden. We were bigger

than all of mankind’s metal gods.

To fight back the ocean we use trees.

Plant them wherever money’s made

from money. In our expanding forests,

lustful, our bodies molt, flense, go wet

in the oxygen-rich air. In new soil we

germinate again, come together again.

Leaves stick to our new skins, dress us

as earthworms, as oaks, as chanterelles.

So I’ve been running on empty for some time, and

now I’m out

                    of anger:

Is this the beginning of memory? Who should

I ask? Who should be

                    asking?

I wanted to write a love poem but instead

I watched the news

in this house of fact, this house of ruin

- ahmad almallah 

stop telling me that I should no longer lie to myself, I know

I look ridiculous holding onto this memory or that

- Ahmad Almallah

only owning past echoes

I don't look for quick solutions. But you won't understand. 

I want to struggle with lots of different ideas.

You want to struggle?

OTONE

That's right. I enjoy it. That's the nature of life.

We’d rather have the iceberg than the ship,

although it meant the end of travel.

Our selves want to be silent though

language itself doesn't so how to

solve this problem they talk to a bot which

means they don't talk to anyone language

goes on

my seeing became too large for speech
