About

Surly, sometimes. I am discovering my own reasoning and also plant care. Behind, between, at the point of, toward. Currently in the process of alphabetizing and metamorphosing one’s brain / one’s words. One is a number and also a being—a brain for numbers always counting my location. Interest in the black and white horizontal photocopied architectural layout in familiarity and frontality. Fears and anxious waking.
