experiences do not happen * 6/23/13


Experience itself hands out an afterglow,
an outcome as deposition for the retentive mind,
comparisons well up as eventual composition, 
encounters with self-conscious as witness,
as a reporter to, of, and for.
Imagine experience is pre-thought,
an empty screen composed 
of outpouring presence,
a newborn before engagement 
then becomes notability's clamor, 
a nanosecond's accumulation of memory 
that becomes a lump some
in recognition's trough of awareness, 
followed by a shutter’s click-shift 
and focus dressed up
as notice's fresh face with details
wearing cognition's trappings.
Experience is before particulars, 
before senses assume 
through that fixation drill, 
when vision was still a gaze 
of a wide horizon embrace,
while hearing was an overwhelming silent fill,
before touch was outside the fluid womb,
before energy succumb to piƱata representations,
before subject-object short hand
became the norm of objectification.
Experience offered nothing, 
no convention by essence, 
no mandate of agreement.
It, in essence, precedes the maneuvering of time. 
Experiences do not happen to any one.
It is they and of them 
and then we make a self of us out of it 
who experiences as expressions
made of accountability’s means.
Assumptions stand blindly behind words.
The windmill is mind fill 
but selflessness is experience, 
as breeze . . .
