Spring Equinox, 2023
Con/Jur/d, 3/20/2023

Been calculated to the nanosecond
when Winter becomes Spring; 
we joke, Given the circumstance
let’s trade minds” “If and only if” 
you say, “everything stays
exactly the way it is, 
our bodies remain anchored 
to these false 
selves, we retain 
our own scars 
preferences, clothes 
circumstances and
orientations”

I  still remember the Great Blue
Heron, rising from the pool above 
the waterfall in the cool mossy noon
while the forest sweats, pine sap
and insects around us

You will retain your first Big Love
and all the problems caused, and 
the zig-zag dodging, running, hiding
to get out from beneath the winged
shadow they cast over your life

as we understood it to be

We laugh

How can switching substrates
without the embodied, somatic
memories, the very thus
of this, the qualia
do anything?

Yet, for a few days 
we will dream each 
other's dreams

As Night and Day
equalize the
cusp tips
between who
wrote and
who read
this, tell

me which 
one are we?

Much love,

Con/Jur/d, 3/20/2023
