I Sink Into The Couch
With an enormous effort I rise from my seat only to find that I still seem to be carrying it around with me, only now it's even heavier because it's become the seat of my own subjectivity.
Bernardo Soares
I sink into the couch
pliable connoisseur of the body in my weight's gravity
at the concave without elasticity due to the repeated movement
and because writing has no weight
the couch doesn't know that besides the body
there is the lightness of thought
which doesn't accommodate itself
either I stand up
or sit down.
