[our Whole Crow wishes to flap about a bit in a paragraph in which they see themselves.]

on page 112 of this book by jane bennet whose histories are from 2000 and 10

– vibrant matter –

I see the human has underlined a sentence. It reads:  

 

“…can sometimes unexpectedly bifurcate or choose developmental paths that could not have been foreseen, for they are governed by an emergent rather than a linear or deterministic causality.”

 

And to the side of this underlining, I believe the ‘margin’

(Marginalised matter, doesn’t matter anyway)

I see more words, written in human hand from a human tongue. They read:

 

“unexpectedness of Crow”

 

Human is likening me, my vibrancy, to the tiny biochemical social systems that are in constant flux with themselves and within their various microbiomes –

twitching and uncomfortably ill-as-ease with his own bristling and fluctuating identity, other-selves

To twitch, to blink, to flip a page; all is to see Crow changed again.
