As/Is







3.21.2004



Everything in the world that is cold
in the world is the case without you.
Wittgenstein said that, just so I
could be fashionable. It's a small
consolation for watching decorating

shows without you. Everything in
the world that makes a case
for the world could also be represented
by a grinning orange asterisk, a spacious

engagement with surfaces and engorged
with ergonomics. Brini Maxwell said that,

not thinking that one day I'd be
dreaming of your arms out
of focus, winnowing these tall

latent ocean weeds, a new dance

for milk.
