Are You in the Room or is the Room in Your Awareness--Poetic Fragments waiting to take Shape

 I guess this is a way of investigating whether your present experience is third person awareness (I am one of the things in the room--I exist in the room) or a first person awareness (my sense of the room and all the objects originate within me). 

But really I'm more interested in the gravity to my thoughts, a stickiness that holds me in their grip.  Whether I exist in the room or the room exists in me--there is this gravity.  This pull.    I can't jump high either.  Except on a good day.  Always being pulled back down. But when I do get pulled down, pulled down to the earth in my thoughts, if feel it.  This is not just about the mind.  The earth is in the mind, as is the air.  Can't you feel it.  The spacious part of your mind.  The space in the room that you are in.  The space that your mind is in.  Can you feel the fire sometimes?  Do you flow with the water and blood in your body?  

When this binding force becomes me, my thoughts coalesce.  The room coalesces.  Fully formed thoughts go from the ground and up to the air, vibrating with the energy of motion.  When the binding force that becomes me, that holds me together thoughts and the body become one with the thoughts with the room.  When the experience of the me becomes the not me but the gravity of the nigredo.   And I wait for something new to bloom.

To Charles Shaw, But Not Really😂

Eye don't have to look for you anymore

my finger touches you resting on the ground

I'm laying next to you

I am you, chuckle chuckle

And we know I'm usually up moving around you

dancing synesthetes in each of the four directions

getting lost in our gaze

as the moon points at our finger

but when i breathe in, you breathe, 

Can't you feel it? 

I can almost feel it on a good day

and when I lay down and touch the stomach

doesn't that feel good?

and when you bring me down that rabbit hole

its a whole nother world isn't it?

A world where neither you or I have any footing, 

but we lay back and enjoy the ride
