"i'm so busy / in my body / i can't move / and yet / i exist / if i exist / and can't move / am i a philosopher / my thinking hangs / floats / fogs / i write /three sentences / an entire winter / what are the philosophical implications of being / too sensitive / to the world” -Bára Hladík, New Infinity (Metatron Press)
