sometimes when i think of us

Sometimes when I think of us it’s like a

simple equation.

Sometimes when I think of us it's like I’ve

arrived

in a country where the laws are ordained by an authority on

touch

and numbers don’t need to be displayed.

In other words, a country

of the blind.

Sometimes

when I think of us it’s like things add up and

the answer is always obvious.

I know it instantly

even without

having to use my hands.

There it is. Self-evident and sure as

the elemental science that drives the systems of life we are sustained by

and in this way ensures that at the centre of all things

there

we are: the eyes of the universe and everything unfolds

before us

as was always intended.

Mostly though

I am living in the country of the blind and

have forgotten how to feel.

I am in a land beyond time

trying

not to count the ways in which we

work it out.

Sometimes it’s like this and sometimes

when I think of us I

close my eyes and try to think of something else, which

doesn’t help

at all.
