SEAN CHO A.—A CUBE WHO IS GROWING. AND GROWING UNSURE OF HIMSELF. #8" (Issue 26)

A CUBE WHO IS GROWING. AND GROWING UNSURE OF HIMSELF. #8

mid april: thirty five degrees. in the absence of clouds:
the sun is showing even it has limits. two young lovers
hold bare hands beside the lake: ignoring the logic of 
pockets. we've already shown our appreciation for pockets. 
holding everything we hold so dear that we must bring it 
along. didn't know what to give them for a gift: yesterday's 
dinner mints stink-y-ing in the heat: a case study the limitations
of objections/the space between object and the representative thank 
you. it's a thankless job. not unlike the jobs of all the other 
object-things. the screams of the june grass/the farm cat 
who wished to never go inside. on the day that a mouth emerges
from the vased-daylily we will have a new language to learn. 
i imagine i'm sorry & thank you will get all tangled up on our tongues.
