that our excitement is what carries us [whale-barn]


something strikes me about a barn that i pass everyday in the driving that i do now. i go around the bend, i see it, something strikes about its white peeling agedness, and i always think of a poem right then, and then [now] i can never remember it.

this is why i want to make a movie about everything i see in iowa as i drive along, especially those old pregnant and forgotten whale-barns.

a barn is the whale of the midwest in its landlock.

a whale is the barn in its seabind.

because of you reading this, i figured out how to write it.
