Air (from Technopoetry)

The force is circular and indirect

It draws roundness in a room and 
sculpts passages that are botched countlessly

The failures generate
a hyperbolic vision

The force used to be an asymmetric lineage 
that ran through one-way streets

Crossings did not exist

One would not run into any other

We only inhaled

All we did was listen to
what the wind told us
Symmetry is not exactly our desire
 nor is another lineage

We claim an asymmetric roundness
 that embraces and encounters many

The room is filled with 
infinitely refracted lights

Now we are at the crossing of crossings

We finally allow the atmosphere to form and
 let it speak

The speed is unmeasurable
 because the move is unpredictable

Timid like a worm

Time spanning like a rubber

We exhale and 
no longer count
