the box it was brought in


warm night wander through the city mountain park
dance party booms loud on the slopes
we * watch
we don't join in
but we run up the hill to the beat
a woman is dancing alone in the grass and we share a smile
I wonder if she is like me
participating in parallel within the comfort of her solitude
far enough away from the too much
to make it plenty

it's not a disorder
there's nothing disorderly about my hypersensitivity
as I observe and absorb the body language of the bees bumbling in the roses
or feel the vibrations of the trees as much as the rhythm of the rave I've left behind
it's not a disease or defect or dysfunction that I can pick up on your emotions from across a room or communicate with dogs, crows and cats like a witch plucked out of your favorite fairy tale

it's most certainly not a deficit

it's a gift
one that never fit in the box it was brought in

for no box
could ever
encompass it all

* "we" refers to me and Pilot, my dog, not "we" as in me and the incessant voices in my head turning every experience into poetry without any regard for my desire for silence and to be in the god damn moment once in a while

You have some tremendous gifts! …and your photography and poetry are both stunning ❤️

I can sometimes talk with the trees, but man I wish I could talk to crows!

OMFG this is the BEST!!!!! That lurking shadow in the second panel. 🤣

Also, looks like we use the same journal. And fuck writing the date in the space provided!

HAHAHA!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

That's hilarious - we both definitely use the same notebook (awesome notebooks, btw, no?) - and even better is that we clearly care enough to write the date, but NOT in the provided space.

I hadn't really even realized I do (or don't do ) that - In fact, I'm not sure I would have noticed even now if you hadn't noticed it first.

I like finding our shared choice of notebook, and even more, our common defiance of the provided date space - because fuck conforming!

Also, not to pry into your personal notes, but I like that thought a lot!
