The Mountain.




The mountain is a landform created by the collision of lithospheric plates. The mountain rises above the surrounding land in a peak formation. The mountain is measured by these criteria: elevation, volume, relief, steepness, spacing and continuity. The mountain is billions of years old. People take photographs of the mountain. People show the photographs of the mountain to other people, and say, ‘look at the mountain.’ We want to believe that the mountain will keep us safe. But the mountain will not keep us safe. The mountain has no central nervous system. The mountain looks like it’s wearing a white hat. The mountain is covered in snow. The mountain is covered in people that are covered in snow. These people have died in the mountain. The snow falls down the mountain and covers the people. The snow falls down the mountain like white horses. Love is a landform created by the collision of lithospheric plates. Love rises above the surrounding land in a peak formation. Love is measured by these criteria: elevation, volume, relief, steepness, spacing and continuity. Love is billions of years old. People take photographs of love. People show the photographs of love to other people, and say, ‘look at love.’ We want to believe that love will keep us safe. But love will not keep us safe. Love has no central nervous system. Love looks like it’s wearing a white hat. The mountain is covered in love. The mountain is covered in people that are covered in love. These people have died in love. Love falls down and covers the people. Love falls down like white horses.
