Box.

Lino lines form grids on which we trace our movements. Solving equations


with our feet, we wear the room close to the skin, following the path


of an artery through the heart as warm air seeps like sticky blood


through the open door. Handprints stacked up on the table top


palm to palm unawares, we navigate a route through the negative space


of accumulated clutter. A maze of walls and corners, walls and corners


and right angles build a box as we scrawl words
