How is this me holding onto and splaying out the argument for the crush of distance? the difficulty and the excellence of distancing.
Why does distance flash a neon sign: A C H E. Wait, with spaces, the ache isn’t familiar anymore.
It is better here: ACHE. Ache, then, is rendered familiar – so we can see and feel that ache is the thing that remains so close, too close in order to feel how the D I S T A N C E is there.
Farther from the thud of its present-to-us symptom, distance vibrates and fathoms between, perhaps a bit below, behind and all-around. The isolated ache, aims to land in and on the body. I think it is clear, if we were to change to such an intimate address, and that words could convince us and render us familiar, we could (or might) see and feel that ache is the thing that remains so close, too close in order to feel how the D I S T A N C E is there. Farther from the thud of its present-to-us symptom, distance vibrates and fathoms between, perhaps a bit below, behind and all-around. The isolated ache, aims to land in, and on the body.
I think it is clear, if we were to repeat such an intimate address that words may convince us to crawl back into ourselves.
