My unit of time has grown to a day, not hours or minutes or even seconds. I’m quite content to watch a dry blade of grass ripple in the wind… in some ways a poem more interesting than anything a person could write. The scene is not being described to me; this blade of grass is my reality. Everything is direct, immediate, and uninterrupted even by my thoughts.
