A MASKING OF ELEMENTS
The concrete stands tall
[[[domineering]]]
only because the bus is late
A slave to the incorporating elements
succumbing to each’s demands
[[[a requirement for membership
all inclusive]]]
with the exception of interior elevation
An exhibition of circumstance
positions the senses beneath forms of closure
masking a contained projection
with observation
About Around/About:
An exercise in both
spontaneity and constraint, Around/About acknowledges the technology of
language through varied triggers and attempts to turn said technology on
itself. When has one said/written enough?
