Non-descript

Communication takes various forms

it is essential, yet optional.

We signal through its use; positionality, importance, desire.

Cycling relationships

we attempt to peel back the various layers

of those we hold court with.

What of the perceived connections, the synergies?

We view something of ourselves in another

elements that we hope will sit in complimentary nature to our own

How are you?

Fine

How are you?

Good

How are you?

Ok

How are you? How are you? How are you?

We fill our conversations with nondescript questions, nondescript answers

and wonder why the foundations are unstable

in our choice of language

we create barriers to meaningful exchanges

we create cycles of nothingness

we create chasms which can only be filled by fatigue

we create resentment

we make and then undo

values lost

values found

the cold space of the liminal

boundaries obliterated

a lack of support for the weary

to rest.
