two short, broken pieces

the picture
a piece of inaction
you must learn to see
reverse
not just the other side
reverse the time, chronological order
study, the negative of a photo
when it was developed
before the picture was printed
all the negatives of my actions


the rhizomatous nature
of an idea
the pain
from the fall
Idea hits
headlong
not something flying towards you
but you plunged onto
the concrete floor
the cracks
like roots
in the many worlds of many silly cartoons

to explain the anxiety,
scattering my attention,
when another idea is fighting for existence
