HE SAID, MARIE, MARIE, HOLD ON TIGHT

And when we were children, staying at the archduke's,
My cousin's, he took me out on a sled,
And I was frightened. He said, Marie,
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.
In the mountains, there you feel free.
I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.

~ The Waste Land, "The Burial of The Dead", Eliot

i carry myself in myself
i stop to compose myself (i have composed myself) i carry myself in myself. i hold my hand, a sign of trust. palms, touching, prayer: a gesture of trust. i am rushing off again - evening class, will leaving classes when the lights have all come up. i am perpetually rushing, perpetually late. (In the line of Socrates, is justice ever too late? does not justice imply that there has to be loss). i have resumes to write (Interests: black chocolate, photography, parcels), pages to read (tomorrow: madrasah education in singapore and iran - so i have to carry the burden of representation, wampum poems and deontology) but i will carry myself in myself. trust me to carry myself in myself.

Hello, thank you for your link. I'm sorry it took me a while to discover it. Congratulations on the upcoming move to New York! I don't know how long more I'll be here, but if you need anything, do let me know.
