Autopoiesis CXCII (“I want to [un]bracket what I recognize … ”)

I want to [un]bracket what I recognize; space hangs from the hooks, covered from head to foot in white veils,

a tune, a ? [a question mark], afloat on the DNA foam. There are the victims, there are the events. My god, so far, so close to

home: “We closed the house, cranked the Model-A, and started out, … over stony mountain ruts” …

in formal bodies or memory structures, or in animals, the cunts of paintings. / [slash]. “… Sometimes I think the future begins

at the bottom of lakes  …” (Even Agamemnon in his thickheaded stupidity had a feel for the bottoms of lakes.

PARENTHESES. Noon whistles, and he eats alone each day (“he’s in good company”). Am I [is Gwilym], if not the fox, at least the raven?

An iris rots in a vase above the fireplace. Each comma ticks like sleet against a windowpane.

Or if not the raven: some infinitely stuttering thing, like a traveler who’s never before been in an airport?

“Humble is the charity of early mornings. Everything that happens then must happen: to you, to me, to the whole world.” There is

no name for the earthquake that threw the all the words

off their pedestals. How do they do it, with no external organs? The weather, too, it is and isn’t. Ergo, vis-à-vis thy own Yar!, we ascertain that that thing in the mirror is closer to life than appears

I say my head is sinnipng. I hate labels! HA! No, really, I go with PDD because I truly believe that a child with any of these issues, albeit mild, needs a multifaceted approach. SPD doesnt give them that, IMO. I am LOVING some OT help.... but it does nothing for some of the other issues.
