By Jack Joseph Smith

With his pulse through his neck, there is inner sound For him, and to make animal sure that he is speaking to him, he sniffs. Now he watches the sea birds they shift on horizon as a society, in endless directions; So many different creatures in one place without a precise language give him the urge to chatter loud- ly: "Being alone in the mountains, is the finest way to battle conceitly." His chest is built robust round; but his thinned nose and fast legs give Animal the appearance of an angular man. He continues along with a long step erect to the shore of the sea expecting a blue night. There was no tunnel in the heavens, no suggested move- ment concerning the gray black. The pinkness of light lasting after the sun has fallen, begins a casted stared light through space-travel blues. Color remains of flower and moving wind weeds. Not embraced by the huge-yellowness, but sharpened to an exciting vision by peaking beams THE STARS wait for the clear sign of night to express their visible energy. Energy turning the inside of the sea, and its molecular vapored arms out of body extend hands in magnificent clutch over the multidimensioned grained sands of rest and unusual freedom.

This page turns Animal's bodily sensation into a meditation on form, energy, and nightfall, using sea birds and coastal light to move from body into atmosphere.

The page keeps enlarging the scene without losing physical detail. Animal's pulse, chest, shore, pink afterlight, sea, and sand remain connected, and THE STARS become the visible agents that wait for night while solitude heightens perception.

Animal moves along the shore at dusk, sniffing to confirm his own aliveness amid the sea birds' wordless society, and voices a maxim on solitude as a defense against conceit. His robust chest, thinned nose, and fast legs give him an angular bearing as he awaits nightfall. Fading pink light gives way to THE STARS and the sea's molecular energy extending outward over sands of rest and freedom.
