Usually, along the interstitial pickets between the Lethe and the Fuck Farm, forms* present themselves at their most recognizable. A form as a sloppy rivet, helping to constellate* what hopes to be a brilliant panoply; a form as the morning junk in your eye before the nails of light certify* the retina’s seamless beauty. Every eye has its duty to cartography, and the lines it draws can’t remain chartable. Each unique amorphous moment a strident temperature soon to evanesce, and to sit. The amount of time spent sitting (then) leaks, auspicious…
