The more you look the more you see

If you told me all about me I probably wouldn’t know what you’re talking about
If you told me everything about me I would have no idea what you’re saying
When I look at my body it means I am a looking body
I am unconcerned with how I look
I am only looking
I am looking at everything that is not me but is not you
I have all the time I need
I am unconcerned with tiring myself out or proving that dance is here
I am very young and very strong
The entire universe is not even something to look at but something looking
I am completely committed to what I am doing even if I do not know what it is
I am purely in time and that is enough for me
I am okay with losing everything because I am looking at losing everything 
I count or become human 
I reach and swerve  and nothing turns me away from myself and my looking
To lose everything you must first be willing to lose everything
Half the fight is all the fight
A total willingness to lose everything
And protect what I have lost
Memory of the past is like a saviour to some 
I am learning to do that thing that I did before
To do the thing I don’t believe in requires so much effort …
To be the thing I am requires an attention pancaked and crystalline like a ballerina’s face 
No disaster in my life there are no disasters in my life
I am looking at the disasters in my life and I do not see them 
I am only looking
