Something I made a while ago but never posted.

A battle of ages.

Like-- like sheep and goats when there's any dispute ever.

Clatter by Neil Hilborn

My response:

It is impossible to imagine an emotion you've never felt. Turtle shells are composed of the same material as human nails. The only superpower I've ever craved is invisibility. Human beings can die from heartbreak. Poetry is the only way I've ever been able to let go. The horsefly can fly at nearly 90 miles an hour under certain conditions. I don't know how to survive so I write and I draw and I write. Maybe I'll find something in the poems someday. Tasmanian devils consume animal carcasses. It is impossible for someone to understand without experiencing. It is impossible to imagine an emotion you've never felt.

Clatter

It is impossible to imagine a color

you have not seen. I can’t call my mother

because she makes me panic. When I

say I am crying what I really mean

is that I want to cry but can’t. Instead

of dying, the jellyfish simply ceases

to move. Glass moves like any other

liquid, but slower. Sex is another way

of communicating with your body

like self-harm or sign language. I complete

five crosswords a day because it stops

the panic. Trucks are downshifting

on Main Street. Most of what I do I do

to stop the panic. I never cry at things

outside of my head because they all

seem so far away. Hair is partially

composed of cyanide. Napalm

is just gasoline and plastic. I am just

carbon and bad timing. If I were someone

else I think I would still be mentally ill.

It is impossible to imagine a color

you have not seen.

-Neil Hilborn, Clatter.

[So back in 2014, we were here in Honolulu, and clatter of horsehoofs sounded from the air. And we went to a funky joint in a bowling alley.]
