Interests

I like science: biology, philosophy, quantum mechanics, stuff like that. Im not so good socially. I like sex, but people are an acquired taste. Im aging and think of mortality, of loss. Concepts interest me. Imagery interests me. Activities of falling involve me. I like doing. I like to do all, all at once. Its unconscious and confusing. I make mistakes. I panic. Theres a fair amount of pain, physical and otherwise, and bliss...

Like blackfaced Astaire tapping a tattoo to Bill Bojangles Robinson while Noam Chomsky questions Cartesian concepts of body and Ginger asks, How do you like my dress?. She doesnt mean what she says, she means something else: something about bodies and falling and loss and sex and science. She means something about simultaneity and something vaguely sinister, like what Einstein used to call spooky action at a distance and I call dancing.
