Path
Posit a room from remembering. Arrange windows around its perimeter, a perimeter that is open, is continuously self-correcting.
Position a table. A glass with rings of red wine, cutlery and a plate. An architecture of couscous and partially chewed red meat. A salad dressed with indifference.
Make a place to sit. The setting is not yours.
Fork
On the wall a silent film grand piano is intermittently burning. Each time you watch, head cocked.
Construct a trapezoid; A the fire B the knife C a shadow that is modulating a room of remembering. D something. Over there. Somewhere.
Convergences
The wave of a hand the cuff of a shirt and the ways space and duration fold into themselves.
For some reason this reminds me of performance art. :)
I personally find ‘surreal’ difficult to achieve in writing, but I sure enjoy reading it. Great stuff.
Very cool. Peace…
thanks for the readings & comments.
i after i sent the piece along, i started wondering if using “you” was a register break in the word problem format. i can’t remember if algebra problems actually address a specific you, taking a break from bossing around the you in general.
Word problems are already evil, but having one address you directly is down right sinister.
Steve, yes, they do do that. Sometimes the description is 3rd person but the final bit of the problem is in the 2nd person imperative. I think geometry is where you find the most 2nd person imperative.
