Arms crossed, knees drawn up, holding, holding on, this motion, unlike a ships, smooths and contains the rocker. Its an inside kind wrapped tight like skin. Then there is the loneliness that roams. No rocking can hold it down. It is alive. On its own. A dry and spreading thing that makes the sound of ones own feet going seem to come from a far-off place. Jam, zebras, volts, xenon and queens
