{1}

I always write down things
I need to remember.
I take baths to relax
or forget about the weather,
or whatever else is on my mind.
but I always try to mind the difference
between the world,
which flows,
and the words,
which are signs:
like "bath" and "I"; whether I am
a man dreaming of a mind,
or a mind dreaming up the world and the weather
and a man who writes down what he needs to
remember.
