The Particular Feeling

 Lay bare the laying bare of it all
The flattening landscapes of it all
The into my eyes of it all 
The winnowing pages that make up a life of it all
House the moments of it all
This reality being of it all
The me because of you of it all
Our being but nodes embedded in an infinite web of causes and conditions of it all 
The infinite web being this infinite web of it all
The Deborah Hay of it all!
The deleted apps of it all
Unburdened by the veracity of it all
The shards of myself falling to the fake-wood floor of it all 
Growing tired of it all
The endless birthday of it all
The rarity of it all
The predictive text of it all
The finance bros dictating texts on the train of it all
The modern dance of it all
The modern dancers of it all
A world becoming specific of it all
Surely not of it all
When Merce Cunningham said, “There’s nothing abstract about this technique. Because it happens in human beings. As soon as it happens in human bodies, there is nothing abstract about it.” When he said that, I felt that.
