There are these things:
cells, the movement of cells and the division of cells
and then the general beating of circulation
and hands, and body, and feet
and skin that surrounds hands, body, feet.
This is a shape,
a shape of blood beating and cells dividing.
But outside of this shape is space.
There is space between the hands.
There is space between the hands and space around the hands.
There is space around the hands and space in the room.
There is space in the room that surrounds the shapes of everyone’s
hands and body and feet and cells and the beating contained
within.
There is space, an uneven space, made by this pattern of bodies.
This space goes in and out of everyone’s bodies.
Everyone with lungs breathes the space in and out as everyone

In this everything turning and small being breathed in and out
by everyone with lungs during all the moments.
Then all of it entering in and out.

How connected we are with everyone.
The space of everyone that has just been inside of everyone mixing
inside of everyone with nitrogen and oxygen and water vapor and
argon and carbon dioxide and suspended dust spores and bacteria
mixing inside of everyone with sulfur and sulfuric acid and
titanium and nickel and minute silicon particles from pulverized
glass and concrete.
How lovely and how doomed this connection of everyone with
lungs.
