Dear Michael,I’m back… from swimming pools and American marble: an autumn of daydream flips where a lipslide is also known as disaster. As it happens, everything continues to happen.
“Nothing but mesh,” you said, spinning a yarn of the interconnectedness of things, atelary contexture of equipment slides from the maw. A backward glance at the court, standing on your own four wheels to map that maple, reveals no more than the lachrymal orange of a spinning ball. You’re right: to a one shot conquerer, the thrashing of the heart’s Ω is the tint of a splash of gin. Always and already, the heft of thingsdangles from a breakaway rim beyond which a three-point line is a breathless length. The ball’s progress plots a dribbled constellation of half-clues, asterisms, black cats, red herrings. H-O-R-S-E, you whispered. Then,jammed into space: an outstretched leap invulnerable to fatigue, something like an astronaut’s free fall, shuttles thoughts towards their a leathery suspension. Around the world, lost satellite reception is a reminder thatwhole histories may be falling just as you are. GM, GP, GS, and the rest.
Beyond this horizon, one could hazard a guess as to what you meant by gleaming the cube to steal the bacon: 749mm of curbside aerology, every painting a clutch player.Again, the same jokes every night for all etoinity told in a voice like a one-strapped sack: after Viceroy, Your Airness, another meaning of ‘to travel’ wheels again towardsits foregone durometry {101A}. And though history might spin itself away, be assured: those persons who retain a historiographical relationship with the deck concern themselves with that which cannot be seen or handled of the deck. Still they ask themselves, fifteen years later, “Is it the shoes‽”
Yours,
Alex
