ever dumbening
I
can't
even
think
of
a
good
analog
in
the
tangible
world
for
the
way
that
a
day
of
certainty
immediately
dissolves
into
greased
grapes
.
Hold
on
:
it
slips
away
.
Squeeze
tight
:
a
sugary
black
mess
remains
.
Cradle
with
equanimity
:
the
doubt
supplants
the
peace
.
Change
is
one
thing
.
Rate
.
The
change
in
change
is
another
.
Acceleration
.
Watch
the
twists
and
turns
,
faster
and
slower, plotted
on
the
checkered
X
and
Y
.
Watch
your
breath
as
you
watch
the
breath
of
a
dying
friend
. Shorter.
And
but
so
then
we're
back
to
Heisenberg
,
shining
light
onto
this
once
certain
day
. Whoosh.
The
measurements
don't
jive
with
what
is
right
at
our
feet
,
where
the
wave
pulling
back
out
makes
the
sand
under
our
feet
feel
deliriously
sweet
and
funny
and
vertiginous
.
And
back
again
to
today
,
or
to
the
day
before
that
day
,
when
we
were
so
,
so
certain
.
