thinking like a city
Climbing mountains is harder than it used to be. Breathless with the weight of addressing the mountain while thinking like a commuter, wondering if the mountain's learned to think like a city, to think itself manufactured, to speak the language of the latest wave to bring the image of another place with them when they came, the climb is slow. The music has changed. The music has changed. The score is a palimpsest, the performance a dance. Only the mountain has patience to learn it one layer at a time. © Steven Schroeder
