taken from his notes. it is a line i could only hope to write. there is something within its crystal symmetry that resonates with me. the sentence is deceptive because it seems like a simple declarative line. only that it is laden with history, of religion, of computer coding, of psychology.

so much more to say but it is late, and i'm listening to screamin' jay hawkins as he puts a spell on me.
