For some reason, no one else is this scared,
\nno one has smelled the aroma of my cells\u2019 melancholy,
\nmy onionskin cells,
\ncomposed of hair fibers and poor and passing-grade students,
\nan entire class of cellular beings
\nwith a window-seat view.
\nJust like that, the protective layer is ripped from the universe,
\nand the path home becomes unknown
\nalong with the house and its many rooms.
\nBut more distant,
\nthe unknown parents of dubious origin
\ncontinue their dubious toil\u2014
\nSuch melancholy. Such magic.
\nUnder this microscope is the silent film.
\nIt\u2019s as though
\nGod lays it out before your eyes
\nyet won\u2019t reveal the most important thing\u2026<\/p>\n
