Monobon by William Allegrezza
Into Poetics
I start with the essential, the change that I want to see in the reader but get distracted by a revolving door moving dust/hair/bugs/tinsel in a corner and lights blinking in explanation of how we are supposed to walk across a street. The design command surrounds us in lines, texts, arrows, and the conversational undercurrent pokes at the circular motion to break some voice inside me, some Sidney or Shelley. Thus the dogmatic falls away in a word jumble turned sound without intention and spins from all directions at the same time as sense itself at the moment of sensing, for what is reasoning but an order to tumble in front of us even without.
Sparkles shimmer from multiple angles.
