Text by LAURENZ:
— what if you enter a space
— what if you exit
— and re-enter
— what if up and down fold into one surface
— your shoe is broken
— your shoelace is loose
— undone
— what if you enter a space, and stay
— your walls are falling apart
— crumbling
— what if you scrape the loose plaster with your finger
— what if it gathers tight beneath your nail, hurting a little
— what if the paint is still wet
— dripping
— what if you leave fingerprints everywhere
— staining
— tracing
— what if you point out key moments
— keys
— what if you cover the key moments
— with fog
— what if up and down are bound together by a belt, a shelf
— an endless one
— one that is protected, under construction, smudged
— not to touch
— not to not to touch, touch
— not to press down, press through
— what if we stay
— do you think I have my father’s nose
— what if I collapse
— what if we know this space
— can we stay
— your finger is broken
— crooked
— turning slightly to the left, and turning slightly up, and turning slightly, slightly
— on tiptoes
— what if you catch the light on the tips of your eyelashes
— light behind closed eyelids
— what if I rip you out
— uproot you
— and cover you with a thin blanket
— to collect dust, to protect you from dust, to become dust
— little particles, pollen, microscopic, tiny
— what if we prolong?
— what if you exit
— and re-enter
— what if up and down fold into one surface
— your shoe is broken
— your shoelace is loose
— undone
— what if you enter a space, and stay
— your walls are falling apart
