Working, Working, Working,
In the corner someone is always grumbling. Bound to its own construction, the work is deterministic in its attempt to couch theory into evaluable achievements. The necessity of pedagogical value binds limit to pre-determined work. The text projects boundaries in an attempt to reform its viewing subject. Academic redistributions. Courtly manner. The air conditioner hums along amid the din of casual laughter.
An unhinged secret meanders through the room as a nod and a wink. These exchanges have no need for justification. There is no history tonight. Waves on blue paper, slightly crinkled. Evocative and sufficient.
Later, sailing along the shore you wonder, is this how people leisure? Is this how one performs enjoyment? Ocean spray pummeling your senses. You are exhilarated by fear and nausea and the desire to be casual. This beach was built upon a long collapsed port. BBQ smoke now replaces the steam of industry. By our presence new structures of production develop. Let us capture this moment and smile to stabilize the catamaran.
There is no being-on-a-boat like being on a boat.
