Half of me





Thank you for the time we spent in the dirt
needing nothing except each others sticky hands
for reminding me that I don't need to look like anything,
or feel like anything,  or be anything
except me, before I even knew it
You wanted me to cover myself in tattoos
wear the same clothes twice, thrice, dare I say 4 or 5 times more
Now I get to remind you that we can be separated for any extended period of time
the immediate physical experience isnt necessary
you are in my head and heart from the time the sun rises for me
to the time it sets for you and I never knew what you meant by that before
I'll travel all over because, like you before,
I have no idea what else to do
maybe someone will give me a banjo,
or a voice,
courage,
 some tricks up my sleeve.
What do you see in me yet?
How did we become each other and ourselves together?
are you even aware of it?
Everyone has the same name as you but that isn't even close
And thank you for coming back down for me,
I know the middle isn't always the most comfortable
I will never leave you behind.

Then, a couple of days later, God said, “Let us make man in our image after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish in the sea, over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth”. And just like that humanity was thrust forth into a downward spiral of domination, over-exploitation and consumption. Of course it is not all that simple: there were many different players, institutions and powers involved. However, the concept that humans are exclusively advanced and thus have a position of privilege on the planet, which has its roots in the Judeo-...

Today was a very beautiful day filled with beautiful things; snow falling on my face while walking with an interesting stranger towards the foggy and lit up Empire State Building, the smile on my sisters face as she leaves for a new job that she loves, the jazz musicians in the subway at Union Square and the crowd surrounding them as they play, and this video. This is beautiful. I love life. Some days the city makes me feel defeated, like I have completely failed. Today was not one of those days.
