Three things: Under The Skin1
Reading 'The Black Mountain Poems'
Tucked in bed,
while my cat listens carefully to Mica Levi.

Notes:
1 I can't tell you how much I love this album, "The Miraculous Mandarin" meets "Close Encounters".
2 And so...
My cat, curled by my head. Juxtaposed with the toothpick which she tries to eat.
The book, looming over her head, like the old testament god.
The book, the cat, the toothpick, in a crazed space defined by curves and lines but in which it resides as some kind of triangle.
The ears turn, tracing arcs in the space.
My coffee cup interjects, traversing a curve from shelf to bed.
The paws move forward, they move back. The toothpick is covered, uncovered.
In some way, this geometry carves out a permanent object in an hypercomplex space-time, and only I to witness it.
In some way, this is perfectly normal.
