5.6 The limits of my language mean the limits of my world
so please do not write to tell me about any more beautiful blue things. to be fair, this book will not tell you about any, either. it will not say 'isn't x beautiful?' such demands are murderous to beauty. the most i want to do is show you the end of my index finger. its muteness.

Margaret Atwood, in Power Politics:
“Because you are never here
but always there, I forget
not you but what you look like
You drift down the street
in the rain, your face
dissolving, changing shape, the colours
running together
My walls absorb
you, breathe you forth
again, you resume
yourself, I do not recognize you
You rest on the bed
watching me watching
you, we will never know
each other any better
than we do now”
a city being your home.... not belonging somewhere...
