Commentary:
coming back a little older,
a polished stone
that skims over the hard surface
`
but no euphemisms please for
things that sharpen the sensors
are outside of words
`
if i could walk a different way home
to a different room, to different smells
and leave these memories
`
for i have become something of form
shaped by a small world
believing in small words
`
i am touched by nothing
except
the useless shapes of acceptance and rejection
`
raul
