An excerpt from
P H Y S I C S

Behind a small eye of a small world, there is a place for things that have disappeared.  A buildingless room visited by those who cannot stop searching for the right day, misplaced keys, drops of music, tails of footage.  Who look across desks and wait to unpry.  In the science of pursuit strangeness happens.

An excerpt from
12 _ S C E N E S _ F R O M _ 1 2 A M

I am asleep and maybe I am dreaming.  Maybe all of the incidents, all of the seconds of the day have been recorded somehow by traces of oxygen and blood cells circulating within my body.  And as I lay feet level to head, eyes closed, at rest, fragments are being gathered. Tectonic plates pushing flashes of gestures, eruptions of scenarios are taking place in another realm of living.  Walking without walking. Seeing without touching.  Assemblies of memories unable to happen.
