I can move from the center and feel good everywhere.
by Mollika Jai Singh
What does the wallflower become
when everyone is up against
the walls? Are we waiting
for someone to hit the dance
floor? Should we not have a dance
but some other field where wallflowers
grow in the center? Should we rock
climb? Grow up the wall? Is
there another center I can feel good
from in stillness? What will feel
good when I cannot move? Who
will I dream about? Does my body
lead me into my dreams, or does my
mind? Can I share this? Lift it? What
does it take to lift words from one place
to another, to move them? What muscle
does it take? What muscle does it
give? What muscle does it matter? What
is the matter? What matter does it
muscle? What muscle does lift? Am I
tracking or orienting? When I am being
tracked, how do I orient myself? To the
tracker or my tracks? Should I track myself
or leave it to the professionals? Should
I trace myself or leave it to the
professionals? Should I tat myself or leave
it to the professionals? What kind of profession
does not orient? What professes something
other than an orientation? How does one
profess without orienting? How does one
orient without professing? Can I move?
