The clear and ever present truth of matter, that it doesn’t matter til you make it matter and even then you still can't see me.
It is the mechanics of belief. What we take apart and what we glue together. It is the reflection of the matter. Language and interpretation based on monosodium glutamate. Alginate preoccupation with the details and failing to recognize the elephant in the sun room. Echoes of cackling youth on shrooms throwing rocks at parking meters. Prayer rugs frayed revealing the threaded tapestry beneath. Equilateral crosses with cardboard messages of hope and despair and MLK church fans.
