right now, i'm stealing these words from work.
the time it takes, to think these thoughts,
and put them down?
totally stolen. fuck it, you know?

to what extent am i actively "thinking" my thoughts,
and to what extent do they "happen"?

i only ever think in english.
all my thoughts happen to me in language, english.
at least i think they do?

today i read your blog.
today i read about maple seeds, and lebanon.
next week i'll get paid for reading your blog.
