With

(2019. Written on a notebook paper at an AirBnB in New Hampshire, at the retreat where I first tried psychedelics. Forgotten until picture discovered in camera roll. Metaphysics.)

With

Slash, an absence of a
Slash, bridge or division, or
And, and yes, how everything’s
Inextricable, implicated, in and of
Other parts of whole, the
Whole with the parts, the
Whole as withness itself;
Itself being withness with itself;
Becoming with, sociably, agreeably
But firm, with its old self
And its new self, with
With being the ur-verb,
The verb of change. With
This, with Withness, become
The things that came
Together.
