"and we breathed the breath of life into the vacuum"
(and the vacuum breathes us in)

anthropomorficus antithicus
--dehumanization of a species.
How are we not ourselves?
How are we not the things we seetouch smelltaste feel want?
Hear (here) ?

How are we not the things that we do
and make
and think? are we?
we?

and
whenit come
s
down to it
Howcouldwe
beanything BUT
our
selves ?

whatwewant
(what we surround ourselves with)
we become.

My mother once told me to be careful
about whatIwishedfor (because)
"People get what they really want..."

the opposite: assigning no meaning
to thingsIsurroundmySelfwith
no mean ing
to what I want.

the cycle:
we are created
we create
we are defined by what we create

res/as/ins -piration
breath es
has a life of it's own:

things
we are
breathing
arebreathingUs
(into being)
