we walked to state and went underground. heading north, i watched the students. what would it be like if this were new to me? i wondered what they were thinking.

walking shares with making and working that crucial element of

the kids were three years older now. we cut paper and passed the pieces around in a circle. we tried not to laugh. the girl with the pony-tail stared out the window. i walked from the front of the room to the back. i knew what i was doing.

i waited in line for a stall of my own. long curtains separated each section. i knew i shouldn't be here. i was pricked and fell asleep. curled up on the toilet in the house i grew up in, i woke up. my right hand held a boy in the shape of a small bird. his beak looked like two fingernails glued together. his matted feathers were hot pink.

i had a bird's eye view of the entire island. i could see a middle aged fat guy sitting near the center of it and someone on a loud speaker introduced him as the man in charge. i spotted a walrus as a speck in the water. as it approached our boat its whiskers grew as long as tree branches. i knew it wouldn't harm us but could sense what was to follow. i darted up a tall thin pole.

even the - the stars up here in the - in the sky look like a mess. there
is no harmony in the universe. we have to get acquainted to this idea
that there is no real harmony as we have conceived it. but when I say
this, i say this all full of admiration for the jungle. it is not that i
hate it, i love it. i love it very much. but i love it against my
better judgment.

sometimes she hummed to herself as she walked, and other times she listened quietly to the songs inside her. there were all kinds of music in her thoughts. some she heard over radios, and some was in her mind already without her ever having heard it anywhere.
