from Juliana Spahr's Response

VIII

an attempt to speak to the human moment will occur
in these moments someone touches someone
someone claims to love someone
someone moves closer to someone in prelude to a proposition
someone waits outside for someone to come by
someone becomes unable to live his/her life and succumbs

this is information that might be left out of witness
yet it has a bearing that is all the more strong

it speaks to the safety of immunity that does not exist
to the various other kinds of immunity that do exist
such as an emotional immunity to the world
a quarantine of engagement
a feeling of safety

which one do you believe?
