the air likes to perform experiments on me. it is “bad for me.” everything that is good is bad for me. i get colder the higher up i go because the molecules spread apart and less friction is less heat. but if hot-me goes up wouldn’t i be hotter the higher
up i went? energy is strange. for example, the midwife’s mother has brown eyes and her father has brown eyes but she has blue eyes. do blue eyes surface in a baby the way hot-me goes up? it is impossible to know. we do not have the energy.
the air is very cold. for example, the molecules on its skin are spreading out the way the continents broke apart a while ago. if it had been high enough up in me it could have seen the continental drift. the midwife insists on birthing the
babies of the air. it is the newest form of existence since water babies. she says that when water babies are birthed they come out blue because of the energetic principle of blue water. but when air babies are born they come out clear
and babies should be clear. but isn’t the sky blue for the same reason that water is blue? it is impossible to know. the air does not understand how hot air balloonists work. it has something to do with food. sandwiches and fruit-cups are the main components of energy.
when they work against each other people vomit. when they work together islands are built and people go into the sky. the air did not throw the midwife overboard. the air did not drop the baby in a lake. it was energy. for example,
