The Mind Manifesto (cont’d)
Victoria Iglesias
the mind
exists!
at the bottom
of a swimming pool.
Here, it thinks:
about occupying space, the dizzy -ing number of ways
to do so.
A room forms and informs the relationship
to
a space,
becomes another neural network.
Another click of the lock,
another frozen sunlit hour.
Consider how windows may alter an atmosphere, an opinion.
Consider
how one may decide differently in a room full of sunlight
as opposed to a room lit by one fluorescent
bulb —
Once I memorize
the grooves on the water, I float to the
top. Here, I exist
in the confines of a flood, controlling and being
controlled, the opposite of lifeless.
For what feels like years, I convert drowning to language
rhythmically, on schedule even.
