The poems
Elementary (or: I cannot even see my comfort zone from here)
Stalwartly substantial, uncaptured by the wave
Solidly unwavering, decoded by the source
Pixelating. Breaking the current with
chunks of why
lumps of how
Elementary, this is not my element,
I am out of it
Elementary, I am neither fluid
nor transparent
Blue nor purple: I am white
I am noise
Static electricity in waves of fear
But this is where I need to go
to learn
to swim
