Sayings that illuminate
architecture
lapidary inscriptions
saying the writing
writing the architecture
writing architecture writing through
up and down manually
or left-handedly or with an intercession
and a few photons, jolly
“in a sudden feeling of shock, surprise, or disappointment,” that’s not
joyous or a joint resolution exactly
even as festivities jolt a centenary
in reading for the archive that is at once a central nervous system
and a center of intentionalities—what were graphics
designating transitive writing arts
in visual culture that left the logo
and remaindered it to information, each of four
letters vetted a rhetoric
technologies opted for rhinestones to the eye
notwithstanding rhizomes in the brilliance
of mind, of the mind in multiplex.
