Attitude, Accomodation & Attachment
Convergent lens
Flagon-stored rainbow bubbles, rainclouds and a land lit yellow by a low sun: consider how quickly the present can transmute into myth, get quoted at us as history, used as justification.
Divergent lens
Yesterday’s preoccupations as mildly comical as dated hairstyles, a pleasant emptiness scattered with air-floating seeds.
Clarity
Anxious, fixated devotion enlarges the pupils. Needs be close. Closer.
Blurred
Visual silence watermarked with failure.
