Matter

 I live in a swamp. It feels like it is both literal and figuratively? speaking?

Pictures photos memories of memories on little scraps of paper turned into media files which don’t really exist except in a virtual reality which has become a stronger thread of reality to the world out there but yet to me it still seems too translucent and figurative. Not in the sense of painting but as opposed to literal. I guess they would also be figurative in that they often show figures. Words with so many layers of multiple meanings piled on top of each other, yet language still persists with clarity of form. Are my memories just as unreal as the air, will they disappear just as easily? Can I convert the digital to analog and make them into something substantial? As in literally – as in matter. Does it matter?
