corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay

how do you sleep? have you ever noticed how your arms and legs array themselves beneath your covers? sometimes i wonder what i look like from above. often, though, i imagine that i look like i'm missing someone. i think that everyone fits with everyone, or at least someone.

i think it's amazing how perfectly two human bodies can fit together. a mother holding a child close to her breast. a daughter dancing with her father. two friends piggy-backing. two lovers spooning. it's beautiful.

holding hands is like a microcosm. fingers entwined and palms touching. human contact is wonderful. maybe that is why it is so essential to life.
