All my moral and intellectual being is penetrated by an invincible conviction that whatever falls under the domain of our senses must be nature and, however exceptional, cannot differ in its essence from all the other effects of the visible and tangible world of which we are a self-conscious part. The world of the living contains enough marvels and mysteries as it is- marvels and mysteries acting upon our emotions and intelligence in ways so inexplicable that it would almost justify the conception of life as an enchanted state. No, I am too firm in my consciousness of the marvelous to ever be fascinated by the mere supernatural which (take it any way you like) is but a manufactured article, the fabrication of minds insensitive to the intimate delicacies of our relation to the dead and to the living, in their countless multitudes; a desecration of our tenderest memories; an outrage on our dignity.

--Joseph Conrad, Authors note to 'The Shadow Line'

the dogs of my dreams
* * *

am i missing out if my dreams don't reach much farther than the babies i have waiting deep inside the softly folded trenches of my gut? these beautiful, pure love babies, pacified by timing and birth control, are begging me all day long to let them out. they need room to grow, they tell me. they want to spread their toes in the soft springtime grasses and to smell the smoke from the fires on crisp fall days. they want to read the classics, kafka and proust, maurice sendak before bed. they want to grow their hair down to their ankles and to swim naked in the frozen eddy's of some twisting river path. what do i have to offer these babies that whisper sweet nothings in my ears all day long? is it ok for me to long for them and sometimes whisper back? i will these babies to grow sometimes. despite all of the hormones, the pearly bits of plastic, the reality that i am only 21 and probably shouldn't be having babies yet, i tell them to hold fast, to be quiet, to sneak. if they succeed in circumventing all the traps they have set before them, then maybe they should be given a real chance.
maybe its just vanity, in wanting to see the love i have for you in someone else's face.

it's really all romance, isn't it?

i've been pondering the conscious life of snails, of slugs and other invertebrates. a few dozen times i have left my house to find ten or so slug couples copulating by moonlight. i wonder about slug relationships, do slugs even have hearts to break?

everyone is leaving. or gone.

a heavy sort of sleep is cast over me whenever i sleep alone. too many sticky dreams to get caught in, dreams littered with fights long since past, plenty of tender moments that don't matter anymore. i want only to move forward now, but it is difficult when my unconcious is clinging so steadfastly to what has already passed. there is no control in dreaming, and for now the only thing to do is rip myself, exhausted, from each one hoping that in the next will look into the future rather than the past.
