PROMENOT by Steven Fortune


It’s all about the box
on this day

The tone that you’ll require
going forward
is a telepathic quote
transmitted through the fibers
of familiarity
You’ll be hypnotized

until the crowbar
of your relation
rules out the walls
and the meeting of divided vertigos
prop each other into one

parallel
