all about dinosaurs

The process of remembering is always one of recreation and falsification. Rather than thanking of this process as a narrative, we turn to poetic as the means to live what remains and is reinforced as the subjective experience of the event. We move in gesture on the level of subconscious which traps us in the personal history that is always-then-always-now. To accept this contradiction in motion is to move in artifacts of all that was before us and is therefore within us. To let the skin shiver from all the touches from within and from without. To move inside auto-fictions in order to keep them alive. Thus the body remains (in) the place in which my memory and the desire to preserve it live. I sleep in positions that hurt, wake up deciphering the symbols that have visited me. I think of you, and know that the pain in the wrists is just a memory finding its home. As I meet myself and others with all that I ever was. Calcium, hope, grandpa's stories, decisions and hesitation, myths and accidents.
