a flare of mirrors followed backwards down
to the field the field which does exist and composites
every met field and imagined field and watched
and over heard of and read about a latticed strata there was a before
and that before took notes a pulse want’s rote echo off
want’s surfaces the brain really wants an answer
to the who-am-i question* the field is a container
the way the game is a container we find out
by finding out a heart char stirred game recognizing
game recognizing game
