SUBJECT:
NOW, IT ISN'T OTHERS
WHO'VE GROUNDED ME,
BUT MY OWN BODY.
GROUNDED FROM A
LOT OF INTERACTION
FROM A DEARTH OF
SOLUTIONS
GROUNDED FROM
BUILDING HEAVY
SCULPTURE.
GROUNDED BY SORROW
FOR THE DIRECTION
OF OUR COUNTRY
GROUNDED BY SORROW
FOR THE DESTRUCTION
OF OUR EARTH.

SUBJECT:
SO,
A RECKONING,
GIVEN MY
LIMITATIONS, HOW
DO I TAKE FLIGHT
WITH BROKEN WINGS?
HOW DO I FIND PEACE
IF TAKING FLIGHT
BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE?
HOW DO I ENTER THE
INFINITE IF OR WHEN
THE BODY IS UNWILLING
TO LEAVE THE GROUND?
