the power of ten

you have ten minutes to describe what rocks your boat

I turn all the lights off and shine a torch thru a stream of water than I am pouring from a bottle into a wide glass dish

the bottle contains "mineral water" from a lake I once swam in in Norway. . .


the torch is a wind-up torch, based on the wind-up radio designed by a man I met in my early twenties. . .


I talk about kissing and gut-reaction, my nervousness at public speaking. . .

. . .it doesn't take ten minutes

. . .on the desk in front of me are the thoughts that took me on the journey that has taken me to my destination. . .

my internal process, if you will
