"we are motionless"

manageable

I wonder what the world would be like if it were smaller.
Small enough to hold in the palm of my hands.

Would the waters still drip through the hole of my fingers?
Would the mountains draw blood beneath the surface of my skin?

One this is for sure:
Life would be more manageable.
I could break the world into pieces and put them back together.
But that kind of control isn't what I want or need.

Or perhaps it is.

"this time is ours"
"Here's what I think, Mr. Wind-Up Bird," said May Kasahara. "Everybody's born with some different thing at the core of their existence. And that thing, whatever it is, becomes like a heat source that runs each person from the inside. I have one too, of course. Like everybody else. But sometimes it gets out of hand. It swells or shrinks inside me, and it shakes me up. What I'd really like to do is find a way to communicate that feeling to another person. But I can't seem to do it. They just don't get it. Of course, the problem could be that I'm not explaining it very well, but I think it's because they're not listening very well. They pretend to be listening, but they're not, really. So I get worked up sometimes, and I do some crazy things."
