I wonder if this ant I see
Sees itself covered with ants
That I would call germs,
And if the germ looks upon its own atoms

On the television screen that sits before you
An external image is shown

You had both sat simultaneously,
Surely one of you must have sat after the other.

They’re been bad or good in the past

All the way ‘til Christmas day
And on…

A tree falling in an empty forest makes a sound of dreams.
“If you hit me for writing this, I swear that I’ll hit you back.”
